Snow Day Fun

Newsflash!  SNOW STORM.

JK. 

There is nothing else on the news, there is no way you could miss it (at least in New England).  They have literally been on the air, instead of ALL (horrible anyway) programming.  

Is it possible we need a snow total update every quarter of an inch?

We.live.in.New.England.

Get.over.it.

So whatev, Nemo is here... here is the fun we had before 10 am.

<one of the benefits of FARM SCHOOL - is that D will play outside no matter the temperature and weather for at least two hours>

Get out.

Now.

First up:  Maple Snow!

For a breakfast app we had a Little House on the Prairie fav.

Maple Snow.

Here are the steps:

1. Open door 3 inches
2. Scoop a bowl of snow
3. Top with maple syrup
4. Enjoy

That's some pioneer goodness right there.

CRAZY.

Next up: Snowflake Exploration!

This is a little more complicated.

JK, it's only complicated if first you have to go to the craft store to get construction paper.  If that's the case, skip this activity, because your governor OUTLAWED driving today.

TRAPPED.

With no Starbucks.

Ok back to the paper.  If you have it.

1. Open door 3 inches
2. Stick paper out to catch snow
3. Check out the flakes
4. Repeat

Last up: Snow Graffiti 

This is a great way to use up all your toxic food coloring from before you cared about toxic food coloring and made green potatoes for St. Patrick's Day.

1. Dig out food coloring from back of cabinet (it's under your organic corn starch, flax seed meal, and fair trade sugar).
2. Mix a few squeezes in a spray bottle and a squirt bottle
3. Grab the BPA tupperware you don't use anymore, some spoons, other random things that have no matches that you don't care if they get left outside and sent through the snow blower <note: your husband DOES care>
4. Dress child (this takes the longest)
5. Undress child because he has to pee
6. Get new underwear because he "just did a few drops" in it
7. Redress child (takes longer than the first time because clothes were taken off on the way to the bathroom)
8. Open door 12 inches
9. Shove kid out and close door
10. Open door 3 inches
11. Throw paint supplies out the door
12. Every 5-10 minutes open door 3 inches
13. Refill paint supplies
14. Open door 3 inches
15. Throw paint supplies out the door
16. Watch news constantly, hoping we are allowed to drive... at least to Starbucks.
