Snow Day :)

The kids and I had a great time during our snow day yesterday. After I shoveled a path to anywhere...we were able to play in the snow :)

Sledding

Snow Angels

After all of that snow fun, we had hot cocoa and snow cream!

Here is the recipe :)

Ingredients:

1 gallon snow (1 large mixing bowl filled with snow)
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups milk

Directions:

When it starts to snow, place a large, clean bowl outside to collect the flakes. When full, stir in sugar and vanilla to taste, then stir in just enough milk for the desired consistency. Serve at once.



After we finished our sweet treat, we made our own "homemade" snow globes.

Things you will need:

Clean baby food jar
Strong glue
Small trinket
Water
Glitter or plastic confetti (we used gold glitter)

The kids search for the perfect trinket for their snow globes

Glue your trinket to the inside of the baby food jar lid

Put about 1/2 teaspoon of glitter or plastic confetti in the baby food jar. Fill the jar ot the neck with water. Once the glue is set under the trinket, run glue along the rim of the jar and turn the jar lid over the correct way and attach to the glued rim. Turn the jar upside down and shake...voila! A homemade snow globe!!



Cameron chose a small rubber frog, Genin (2 military people), Kaplyn (flower pot eraser), Reiner (train eraser) and Brandis (firefighter)

One big "snow" themed day!!!
