Snow Day

We got a phone call on Tues morning inviting us over to Amy's house for a visit. Of course, this is something my kids would never let me pass up, so they put their books away in record time and were waiting at the door before I could even hang up the phone. It was a great day for playing in the snow and all the kids went out except for the babies.
Amy ran across a great idea and I got to try it out this day. One of the kids stepped outside and filled a a bowl up with snow and put it on the table. This is such a great idea for kids who are a little too young to play for a long time outside or for when it's just too cold (like it will be today and tomorrow!) I can see this idea really taking off, using cups to make snow castles and raisins for tiny snowman's eyes.
But these girls didn't care to much about creating, they were content with giggling at the snow in front of them for 10 minutes, then eating it, and sharing it, then giggling about sharing it.







Then comes every body's favorite part of the day... lunch
