The throwdown...Snowman vs. Brant and the Wolverine Claw

The snow did not last long and the next morning only part of our snowman remained as any evidence that the snow was there the day before.  Brant really wanted to try out his new Wolverine claw that he got for Christmas so we went outside for him to play with it in the front yard.  I asked Brant if he wanted to use it to knock down the rest of the snowman once he saw that the head had already fallen off he was excited to do just that.  Brant proceeded to be a great photo subject and wait until Mommy got her camera ready then when he got the signal proceeded to stab the snowman with his claw trying to knock it down.  The snowman wasn't going to give in easily to this fight and Brant had to hack away at it little bits at a time.  Finally we turned it over with our foot and he hacked at it from another angle then started taking pieces of it with his hands and throwing it in the street like he was participating in a snowball fight.  He then proceeded to stamp out what remained of the snowman with his feet since his claw was wet and he didn't want to get it any more wet or dirty.  He had a lot of fun and was so animated it was hilarious to watch, and I had to keep from laughing too much while he worked so he wouldn't think I was laughing at him (though indeed it would seem I was). He always knows how to have a good time.
