Yep, advent is planned a month ahead, but the nice thing about my little box with doors, is Mama can change the message early in the morning and no one is the wiser.
We had a winter storm blow through yesterday. School was cancelled and I knew I had to move my "playing in the snow" day from the 22nd to the 20th. I remember Snow Days being exciting as a child. It felt adventurous to be "stuck at home" when I'd typically be in school. The morning was cold and white, but by afternoon, we were usually bundled up sledding. I have such warm feelings about coming inside to find mom had fresh cookies and hot chocolate waiting. Snow days are wonderful things, and I want my kids to look back on them fondly, as I do.
The trouble with our snow day is the it was a full day mix of rain and Snow, mixed with REALLY heavy winds. Walking outside felt like wading through a big gulp while someone is pelting you with ice chips....not exactly what I envisioned. So while, we weren't able to build a snowman or paint the snow this year (yet!), I got out my "back up" snow plans and I cannot tell you how much fun we had!
Supplies- Styrofoam balls, fake snow, snowball sippies, and snowman mac n cheese:)
We put in REALLY cold water and pretended we were drinking snowballs;)
We made fake snow...
"The weather outside was frightful..."
So an INDOOR snowball fight sounded DELIGHTFUL
Except to a sick little who decided she didn't want to "Share" her snow balls at first;)
The rest of us had more fun than I could describe. I laughed so hard...and so did everyone else;)
She seized the opportunity and braved the snowball war; she gathered up the "precious" snowballs littering the basement floor
and began storing them in her car's truck...hilarious;)
These are the days that I want to just repeat over and over again....and this is one that I'm thinking could become a pretty great tradition...Marc and I had so much fun we "might" bring some "snowballs" to our family Christmas party (ssshhh- don't tell).
