Once she had finished rollling the first ball, Kourtney stood up and eyed it critically. Okay. She could make one kind of snowman....or she could make a different kind. Her gaze wandered around the clearing before an idea struck her. No one said the snowman had to be standing up did they?

With a grin, she began to roll two additional balls of snow. Roll, roll, roll, roll. After several minutes, she placed the smallest ball on the ground, and then followed it up with two more balls of equal size, but slightly larger than the original ball.

With a giggle, she grabbed a few loose sticks and stuck them into the balls of snow, making arms pointing toward and legs pointing straight up. Hmm.

She scooped up a few rocks and placed them as the eyes and the nose. Taking a few smaller rocks, she decorated the snowman with a semi-circle of rocks in a frown. Frown, then nose, then eyes since the man was flipped.

Stepping back, she surveyed her work. Not bad. From where she stood, the snowman was in an unpside down position, head on the ground. It looked as though it were performing a headstand while smiling. And since she often won the headstand contests for who could stay balanced on their head for the longest, it was no surprise that the snowman was built in this position.
