I was a little disappointed that we didn’t get much snow today. Don’t get me wrong, I am definitely ready for warmer weather, especially after the brief nice weekend we had. But I’m hoping for one more storm so we can playing in the snow one last time. Our play sessions in the snow during the past storms were cut short because there were no snow days. They had school all day and by the time they got home it was time to get ready for dinner.
In our brief sessions in the snow we made snow art, went on mini sledding adventures, made a snow angel here and there, threw snowballs and made a mini snowman family. The mini snowman family was the favorite for my girls, using our snowball maker we made three balls for the body. We did not have carrots or anything else to dress our snowman so we had to get creative. We found an ultimate fuzzy kit that contained eyes, pom poms, and pipe cleaners to use to create our snow family. To all my friends and family in DC getting slammed by Titan, this is a good way to keep busy for a while. Make as many or as little as you want and go back out later for more.
Over the weeks as the weather warmed up, we watched our snow family melt away. While we were enjoying the sun and running around last weekend, we came across the pieces to our mini snowman family. My girls were sad they were cleaning up the pieces that were left and wished for more snow to make more snowmen. They have fingers crossed for a storm in March for more fun in the snow. In the mean time I am heading out for white Crayola Model Magic Clay to make an indoor snow family that won’t melt away! Keep a look out on Instagram (Tastefully Childish) for our snow family!
