I was reluctant to let the boys play in it--Braden wasn't interested but Finley sure was. As a compromise, I brought in snow and let them squirt colored water on it.
Big hit. Lots of fun. They stayed warm and dry and occupied for quite a while! We also made snow ice cream, which is snow, milk, sugar and vanilla. It tasted liked you expect--like sugary snow. So... delicious.
I could barely get them to stop playing to look up at the camera--it really was fun. Thanks Pinterest for spewing snow ideas at me even when I don't want them. I kept this in the Pinterest of my brain and was able to pull it out. Amazing!
Wish I had thought of that idea. Great way to be creative, but warm!
ReplyDeleteLove that Braden is holding a train while squirting the snow! Too sweet! Crazy that you had squirt bottles on hand. Do you maintain a full inventory of supplies for all possible pinterest projects?
ReplyDeleteI have like 8 of them from the Gingerbread party we had... I'm starting a really weird collection of random items.
DeleteThe photos are GREAT, Rach. Finn's smile kills me and I have always loved the crab pajamas!
ReplyDeleteI'm beginning to suspect that you put sponge curlers in Braden's hair at night. These photos further support my suspicion.
ReplyDeleteMy goal is for him to have those George Washington powdered wig curls. We're getting there.
DeleteYou didn't let them go out in the snow!?
ReplyDeleteI know I'm terrible. Braden would have hated it and Finley was happy with just playing with the pans by the time Braden was napping and we could go out. Plus, our snow was really terrible. Like 40% rain.
