Snow Graffiti!

We can't get enough of playing in this snow! 

Our latest adventure was painting in the snow...we laughed and squirted everything in sight until the bottles were empty and our fingers were froze.

Old empty windex bottles and food coloring in water.  So simple but 'snow' much fun!

Playing Monopoly

We've started our kids on Monopoly.

The boys and I played a couple of night ago, we have been living up this Christmas break.  

I have worked my regular work schedule except holidays but not having homework and a super strict bedtime has really made for some fun evenings!  

They understood this game so well.  The cards were perfect for Sam to practice reading 

and counting money and spaces were perfect for both!

We had so much fun that we talked DH into playing with us tonight.

He loves Monopoly, when we were first married living in Indy...we played an ongoing game over

a week...it did not end well.  I got so stressed out losing money and property that I cried...LOL!

Round Two.  Fun times!

Simple Silly Snowman

Joe is my craft loving, ever asking to do the next one.

This was Sam a couple of years ago, never thought Joe would catch the fever but he has, 

speaks my language, love that!

He asked to make paper plate snowmen and I could not have 

been happier to oblige!

He told me we would need 3 plates each and asked me to help him make them the right size,

so I drew a  rough circle on each one let them go to town

We grabbed some mismatched socks from the rag bag to make

the scarfs and hats...

And some buttons from my mama's collection

The toe of the sock was the perfect size for the hat

I loved their imaginations on the faces.  Sam's coal mouth was so cute

And sam had gotten these wacky bendable sticks in a present from school

so we used those for our arms.

We tacked everything together with glue dots for simplicty!
