Snowy Day Activities



With all of the snow we have had it has meant a lot of time in doors as well as outside. I showed some of our pictures from outside in my last post, this one is going to be about our indoor fun. In the past two weeks we have done a lot of baking, mostly cookies, but I also made some chocolate suckers that were really good. I did not think to take pictures while we were making them or even right after ward. So I have one picture showing not even a third of what we made.

I also got the wonderful idea of making a paper-mache egg from a friend of mine. We started this activity last night and finished most of them today. I was not sure how they would turn out, but they look great. It was a good use of many hours while stuck inside due to snow, again.

Of course with all of the snow we have had plenty of time to do a family favorite as well, play games. In the past two weeks we have played some games that were starting to collect dust because they did not get played as often as others. I believe we have played every game in our house and remembered how fun many of them are.

I really want spring to come, but at the same time being stuck in the house as a family has been fun.
