This morning we looked at our snowflake project and found a glorious sight! We hung them in a sunny window and have enjoyed them all day. They sparkle beautifully!
We also made snowman bagels: take half a bagel (found some on sale yesterday!) and toast it. Smear with cream cheese. Insert a baby carrot into the hole for a nose. Use raisins (or if you're a REALLY fun mommy, chocolate chips!) for eyes and mouth.
We read Whistle for Willie by Ezra Jack Keats. No, it doesn't have a thing to do with snow, but we read The Snowy Day by him yesterday and I own two more of his books. And we read Footprints in the Snow by Cynthia Benjamin, which is a Scholastic reader. Normally I don't enjoy reading readers aloud, but this one is nice because it's all about home. I have a board book called The Four Seasons, so we read that one and discussed the seasons. Actually, Ab read some lines - her reading is moving right along! And today we talked about the art in Stopping by Woods.
It's been a busy day for me - cleaned house this morning, threw in some schoolwork mid-morning, cooked lunch, went to clean a house with Emily, went to walk, came back and finished up school with Ab. Our family is playing a couple of places this weekend, so they still have some more practicing to do tonight and it's Family Fun Night at church. Think I'll go lie down now......

Seems so funny to see your snow crystals in a sunny window showing blue skies and green grass! Today we awoke to frigid temps (15 degrees) snowing and blowing! Brrrr. we've been freezing all day! Enjoy your 'snow'
Snow is only a dream here! We decorate with snowmen and make snowflakes to hang in the windows and WISH for snow all winter, but it rarely happens. lol
