Snow Day

This is one of Isaac and Mara's favorite snow day activities...when it's just too cold to go outside, why not bring the snow inside?
They played for more than an hour in that bucket of snow...which translates to an hour of no bickering or arguing.
And they got so chilled eating snow that they gobbled up their nice warm dinner....corn chowder, poppy seed muffins and pears.

There's no better, cheaper entertainment on an icy, snowy Ohio day than a bucket of snow and a few scoops and spoons.

This is so cool! What a good idea! Nicole and I were very impressed with this idea....this idea never occured to either of us before (Nicole used to work as a cook at a small day care center where kids were disappointed a few times by not being able to play outside due to the low temps....this idea could've really come in handy with the smaller class sizes they had...)
