Finally-SNOW!

After waiting and waiting, we finally got some snow. It's been the driest winter in years. Jefferson was beyond excited to go play in the snow and build a snow man. But first was had to paint. I have been wanting to do this and I knew it would be a hit with the little man.


I got some clear squeezy bottles, ketchup bottles would do as well, and I filled them with water and food coloring. I did green and blue, then purple and orange. I didn't want to do yellow and red because I didn't want people to think it was pee and other stuff. Beware of yellow snow.


Jefferson had a great time. He thought it was the most fun thing. I just love when I plan things and he really enjoys them. It makes the time spent thinking and planning well worth the effort.

Jefferson thought it was great fun to throw snow balls. It was really great packing snow and he got us good a few times. Here he is planning his attack on an unsuspecting Dad and Addison.



We really don't have any baby winter gear so we had to mash together some of Jefferson's old stuff and some boots of Addison's. She had a great time watching her brother run around. She thinks he is hilarious, which really makes me happy.

But, she eventually got cold so inside we went to get warm and read. Lovely end to a lovely day!

  1. Snow painting sounds like fun! If it ever snows here I'm totally going to be prepared to do this activity with my kiddos!
