School is out and it's time for some fun and family memories. This is one that poor Oliver missed out on because he was miserable and needed to nap, so I will be doing a repeat soon. Yesterday, we made SNOWMEN. In our BACKYARD! Can you believe that? And it was in the 70's when we did it. In fact, the girls didn't have gloves on, and were wearing skirts. How is this possible? Well, I made the "snow" from 2 basic ingredients that you can find in most houses: baking soda and shaving cream. Mixed together, you get a nice cold powder ready to play with. It's probably a sad thing that this is how my girls first experienced building a snowman... but ironically, it's about the same size as the first snow man I ever built, and I was in my 20's and married when I did it. It's an Arizona thing, I think.
Here is Melanie and her first snowman.
Here is Noelle with her first snowman in the background.
When the girls were done making snowmen and playing in the "snow", we decided to add some vinegar to add a little excitement to our afternoon.
Tell me... do other snowmen do this:
This is definitely a repeat activity! We loved our "snowday".
