The Snow Day

This past Friday we were blessed with a snow day! This of course meant that me and the kids had a bonus day off together. It was really just a beautiful snow and not so cold out that you couldn't enjoy it. So I declared a snow-a-thon. First we bundled up and went out back for awhile. It was so fun to watch Colt since this was his first real time to play in snow. It didn't take him long to figure out he liked it. After that we sat out bowls to collect snow for snow ice cream and Grace began a snow picture. For her picture she put Jello on a canvas then we sat it in the snow. The snow dissolves the Jello leaving behind a very bright and colorful art piece. She did a great job and it turned out beautiful. Lastly we mixed up our snow ice cream which was a huge hit with the kids. It turned out to be the perfect snow day and I am so thankful this extra time with my kids.
