Yesterday we were gifted with a snow day! And it turned out to be quite nice for a snow day. Cold, but as long as we were out of the wind it was tolerable for playing.
We started some buckets in the morning to try and make ice lanterns ala Random-Charm. That was an adventure that extended into today. The first two we tried to dump too soon. The 3rd small bucket I emptied late last night and it looks pretty good, but we ran out of time to light it tonight (Ben is gone this evening and dinner time - bed time got a little frenzied). The bigger bucket I think could have worked but I was a little rough with it when I was trying to dump it out and the sides were a little thin so they broke down pretty low. We are still planning on lighting it tomorrow to see if the sides are high enough to look lantern-ish.
Alex and Maya played a ton of silly imaginary things inside throughout the day. They drew pictures. Alex made a placemat at school that he has been using at the table. He wanted to make Maya one and decided to make it out of small pieces of penguin shaped paper that he got a notepad of for Christmas.
We played outside and enjoyed the sun!
In the afternoon we baked braided "Brigit Bread" (recipe is from the book "Circle Round") and read some stories.
It was a very nice day, Maya didn't want Alex to go back to school today and at first he didn't really want to go either.
