It snowed this morning!

It snowed this morning! Ok, so it only snowed in the front yard of one house in Flower Mound but still, it snowed! We had our educational playgroup on Mrs. Julie's house today and she taught us all about snow. She first talked about water and how it can be a liquid such as the water that we drink or it can be a solid like ice and snow. She talked about snowflakes and let each child make their own unique snowflake with paper and scissors.


We invited some friends from our church to check out the playgroup. Here's Nicholas and Brendan posing in front of the "humongous penguin"!

Then we got to the real fun. Mrs. Julie had rented a snow machine for our playgroup! It was so much fun! It was kind of the consistency of scooped up bubbles from a bubble bath. Thick and fun to blow in the air but it dissolved quickly so it didn't leave a mess behind. The kids ran around in it for quite a while.

After all the fun, we enjoyed cookies and hot chocolate. Here's Nicholas eating a cookie with his friend Elizabeth.

Next, Mrs. Julie read a story about snow while everyone finished up their snack.

Mrs. Julie had asked the moms to bring pillows so the children could build igloos. Nicholas had a lot of fun just running and jumping into the pillows.



At one point Nicholas and some of the other children went to collect sticks to make a pretend fire in their igloo. How cute!

Nicholas and Emma Rae played with chalk on the driveway. Emma Rae outlined Nicholas' body then they worked on coloring it in.


What a fun way to spend time with our friends - playing in the snow (without the freezing temperatures, reading stories, making snowflakes, and enjoying cookies and hot chocolate!
