I
remember when I was little and we lived in Wisconsin and it would snow. We
would grab our snow gear and head outside to play. We went sledding, built snow
men, and got into snow fights. When I was little older and we lived in St.
Charles Illinois I can remember building snow forts with all of the kids in the
cul-de-sac. I remember a childhood spent outside playing. So now that I have
three little ones I try to get them outside when I can so that they can make
some memories of their own… when the weather permits and there isn’t a polar
vortex!
I love
the snow and we have been going outside in little bursts to do some winter
wonderland crafts and activities. The kids love the snow painting and ice
marbles and later this week we are going to try our melting ice science
experiment again using clear {uncolored} ice marbles.
I am
enjoying this winter, but I will definitely be appreciating the warmer weather
once it comes. And while it is beautiful to look outside and see all of the
mounds of crisp white snow, a little snow goes a long way. Maybe Queen Elsa of
Arendelle {The Disney movie Frozen} could take it back a notch.
