It snowed last night! It has only snowed like 6 times all winter. I wanted to share a little bit of “snow love” with you, so here is a poem about a snowball.
The Snowball
by Shel Silverstein
I made myself a snowball
As perfect as could be.
I though I’d keep it as a pet
And let it sleep with me.
I made it some pajamas
And a pillow for its’ head.
Then last night it ran away,
But first — it wet the bed!
For Valentines Day this year we tried an idea from a friend of mine. It is also something that I’ve seen on Pinterest. Here is our version before we put suckers in them.
The idea of the day is to Build a Fort. When I was a kid, we loved to build forts and then play and pretend inside of them. There is just something so magical about a fort.
For the fort we build, we used 6 dining room chairs and a blanket. We put 3 chairs on one side and 3 on the other with the seat part facing outwards and the spaced the backs of the chairs about 3 feet apart. Next, drape the blanket over the top. We used a queen sized comforter. If you would like to, you can put pillows and blankets on the floor in the bottom of the fort. This will make it softer and the kids could even camp out there. We just did 1 blanket in the bottom and played for a while until we needed the chairs again.
Now lets see the fort ideas you have!
