Indoor Igloo

We are not snowed out yet!

but I actually don't like getting cold,

so we improvised...

We brought the snow inside.

We put our hats and gloves, which got them super excited!

The only problem was, I gave them spoons for digging,

but they used them for eating.

{Why would they do that?}

We used our handy dandy sprayers,

with fresh water.

Check out this awesome idea,

perfect for older kids!

Isn't that cool!

 

Caught ya with snow in your mouth!

I hurried and pulled out some little dinosaurs to distract him from chowing down on snow.

 

When the snow got a little sparce,

I pulled out ice cubes to build an igloo.

 

We built it up, and left a door.

And put it in the freezer.

 

Then, two days later, I soaked the bowl in hot water,

and it came right out.

We added more snow,

Our on hand supply of penguins, snow princesses, and abdominal snow men.

 

Sweet! Don't you love when they play together!

(They do it better when their brains are engaged!)

 

Then when their fingers got cold,

We snuggled and read
