Our snow angels



Finally we have a little snow in the Northeast... really it's just a snowshower but enough for the girls to want to go outside and play. So at about 8:46am Michaela was in her snowpants, jacket, and boots making snowangels out on our driveway. Jenna soon followed suit. For some reason, Michaela doesn't like to wear any clothes under her snowpants and jacket when she plays outside (despite our multiple attempts to tell her otherwise) so she strips down to her undies and puts on the snow gear. It's a quirk of a five year old, I guess.


In other Michaela news, she had to build a boat for school yesterday out of everyday objects- part of their sink/float unit. She created the "SS Snowflake": a tissue box covered in tin foil with pictures of a snowflake, a snowman, and a fish drawn on blue construction paper to decorate it. We also made a blue sail sticking out the top. I tried to get a picture to post here but we had gone out to the store and she had to get on the bus as soon as we got home. I'll try to get a picture when she brings it home. She did a great job and we were proud of her.

So cute! What excitement snow brings when you are kids. As adults it just means dusting off your car and a longer commute. To be five and playing in the snow with reckless abonden clothingless under your snowsuit! :)
