Snow Day!!

As most of you know most of North Alabama shut down today due to snow. It has been snowing off and on all day resulting in a pretty heavy dusting. We have gone out to play in the snow twice today. The first was right before Lunch and Miller was less then impressed so we headed in after about 5 minutes. After a couple of hours the snow really seemed to be coming down so we bundled up and headed out again. Miller was in awe. He did not know what to think of it. He had the most fun scooping up the snow off the walkway and throwing it into the flowerbed.

Saying Look, WOW, Snow!!

Catching Snowflakes

Really coming down!

Just Having Fun!

Favorite thing to do!!

Earlier this week we began preparing for snow by making our own snowflakes in hopes that we would see the real thing.

We began by cutting out snowflakes. I simply folded white and light blue construction paper in half twice and then folded it into a triangle making sure my folded edges were against each other. Then I went to town cutting. When I was done cutting, I opened them up to reveal BEAUTIFUL and unique snowflakes. Then it was time for embellishments. I began by letting Miller cover the entire snowflake with glue. Look at that concentration....he gets it from his MOM!

Then he sprinkled sugar over the glue to add a little sparkle to our flakes.

We hung ours from the curtain rod in our breakfast area.

Miller LOVES them and I think they are the perfect addition to the kitchen.
