We were teased with "springish" weather last week, like in the 40s. I don't know why we thought that maybe winter was over. Sigh. Sunday night brought another eight inches or so and a Monday snow day! I was pleased with myself to have thrown a little plan together for the day to keep the natives happy - snow play, peanut scavenger hunts, crafts, cooking, stories, whew. While Gabriel napped, we headed out to play in the snow.
Theo tried his darndest to make a snow angel. He still struggles to get up out of the snow once down. But, he's doing much better embracing the cold. Layers, layers and more layers definitely help!
He really enjoyed measuring the snow.
Maddie enjoyed eating the clean snow. We talked a lot about survival and how you shouldn't eat snow if you are lost in the woods. She then wanted me to tell a little scary story about someone who got lost in the woods and ate snow. We ended our snow play with maple syrup snow bowls inside. Yum!
