Chicago weather: 3.5" snow and 19 degrees.
We were not about to go outside today - 19 degrees, yeah right! (Not to mention the thoughtful gifts - bronchitis and laryngitis that I got for my birthday!)
Can't go outside? Next best thing - bring the snow inside!
Materials required: 1 bucket of snow, 1 blanket, 1 mini-shovel or dinner utensils, 2 bowls, mittens, scarf, mini carrots, cloves for eyes, sticks for arms, one baking tray.
T-Man and I sat on the family room floor and built mini-snowmen inside. We had the best afternoon! "Oooooh, c-c-c-c-c-c-cold" was about all T-Man could say. Even the dog got involved (no, don't go there, there was no yellow snow -- she just licked the snow) .
Photo: not ours; courtesy of Flickr. Ours melted before we could snap pics. Too much fun playing, didn't even think about a camera.
