I wait for Ian with the kids in their huge fluffy coats as we were going to make snowmen or as the boys like to make snowomen.
I roll up a few snowballs and start throwing them to the kids to have some fun, because they were looking really bored of waiting. "Snowball fight!" Zoe yells. She tosses a snowball and hits someone walking up the driveway. She automatically runs and hides behind me.

I duck too late as a snowball flies towards me, then straighten up again, looking ahead.
The size of the child army was getting to be slightly intimidating now, "OI! Which one of you was that?" I call, laughing slightly.

Zoe looks at him from behind Ian. "Ummm...me?" she says weakly with a smile. All eight of them laugh. Justin walks up to him and just looks at Ian. "So, you've never made a snowman?" he asks not believing what I told them.

"Watch it then," I warn her, grinning slightly, "I'll have to get you back."
I look down at another one, "Yes, I have never made a snowman."

Most of them gasp, except for Jenny. "Who doesn't make a snowman?" she crosses her arms. I roll my eyes as I walk over to him. "How have you been?" I ask him with a smile.

"Me, obviously," I reply to the other little girl.
Then smile weakly at Shell, "Uh...surviving, it's a little complicated, so it doesn't matter right now. How have you been?"

I look at him, slightly confused not invading on what that meant. "Well, I've met someone." I say with a smile. "But that doesn't matter either." "Mama really likes him. Likes likes him too." Ashlyn says quietly. I turn slightly red. "Like I said, doesn't matter..." I say shaking my head. "Alright so do you know get started?" I ask.

"Oh?" I smile slightly, "Good for you Shell."
Then shake my head, "Nope, no clue."

"Oh shush..." I say to him, as I simply stick out my tongue.
"All you do is roll up the snow like this." I say as I crouch down to the snow, make a snowball and start rolling it around in the snow, slowly increasing in size.

I stick my tongue out back at her, crouching down next to her, "You know I'm going to fu-..." I glance at all the kids, "mess it up."

I laugh at Ian's correction. "If you say you're going to mess it up, then you will..." I say finally making a big enough sphere for the bottom of the snowman.

"I will anyway," I mutter, but start rolling a snowball anyway.

I sigh a bit, working on my second snowball. "Hi, do you need some help Ian?" Ashlyn looks up at him with her blue eyes. Everyone claims that she was the exact replicia of me. She giggles and starts helping him move the snow into a small sphere for him.

She giggles and stands on the side that Ian is. "You just roll the snow slowly now, just push it." she says, as she starts rolling the snowball a bit. I stand there for a few seconds watching them.

I laugh, starting to roll a snowball next to her, "Like that?"

She nods and starts walking around still pushing the snow. Once she gets it to the size she wants. she makes another snowball and rolls that one. "You know my birthday is in a couple days? I'm gonna be six." Ashlyn smiles at him.

"Six? Wow," I grin, rolling another snowball, "You're growing up awfully fast."

"So, I'm seven Ashies." Jenny says with a playful grin. "Hey that just means you're old Jen, oh and I'm only four." Isaiah says softly. Ashlyn goes over and hugs her little brother. Jenny sighs and just continues on her snowman.

"What's the matter Jenny?" I ask her as she sighs.

She walks over to him and tells him to lean down so she can whisper into his ear. "I'm only their half sister, so they tend to stick up for each other, and not for me. And I look like daddy, not mum like the other girls." she looks around and notices that the other four girls all have blonde hair, and then she points at her brown hair.

"Don't let that worry you," I nod, "I know how it feels. I was adopted when I was your age," I tell her, "But in the end, it doesn't turn out to matter, because you're going to be your own person anyway."

She smiles and hugs him. "Thank you Uncle Ian, is that okay?" she asks him.

"Uh...yeah, that's fine," I smile slightly, hugging her lightly back.

I smile slightly. "So, how's that snowman Uncle Ian?" I ask him with a small smirk.

I laugh a bit. "Yes the snowman is cold..." I say with a smile.

"Aha, I'm learning then," I grin weakly, "It's also a bit lopsided, but does that matter?"

Post by Shelby Chou on Dec 8, 2007 20:19:01 GMT
"No, it doesn't matter. Usually they are lopsided." I say with a laugh. "See look at mine.." I say pointing at my own lopsided snowman.
