We woke up this morning and opened the curtains to a THICK blanket of snow. I love snow, especially on Saturday when we are all here together. The children were so excited. We pulled out the winter coats, snow pants, and new boots. They ran outside and played!!! It was fun!
Then Peter and I decided to have a celebration of the first day of winter. We made doughnuts with sprinkles (and some maple bars for Peter... his fave.) The children came in with red, rosy cheeks and enjoyed our celebration with SUGAR!+of+snow+036.jpg)
Sierra's rosy cheeks... I love this picture. I was wrestling her and hugging her and taking the picture at the same time!+of+snow+070.jpg)
Later on they made a snowman with Peter! This is the first snowman we've ever made here. The snow is usually so dry, that it won't stick together but today it was perfect. Quarter sized snow flakes drifted down all day long! It was so beautiful. That nice white blanket makes everything look so clean and fresh.
Then I decided to make some frog beanbags. We've been reading about frogs and studying the letter "F." To top that off, one of Sierra's green shirts was in terrible need of recycling! I chopped it up and made two soft frogs. The kids enjoyed throwing them around. Weston made up a game. He put the frog on his head, and Sierra copied. Then they jumped and the frog flew up and they yelled, "jump." Funny!
I got the pattern for this idea at http://lilblueboo.blogspot.com/
Talk about a creative lady!
