Monday Makings

Today we made igloos out of sugar cubes! The boys made one together and the girls made one together. We used white frosting to make the sugar cubes stick and then sprinkled our igloos with coconut to make it look like snow. We also made marshmallow snowmen to go along with the igloos. It was a fun craft!








Apparently our snow crafts have worked...after a weekend of low, cold temperatures around here, we are expecting 2-4 inches of snow tomorrow!!! We haven't seen snow in almost 2 years so we are very excited! Braden said he hopes it sticks to the ground so he can play in it! Alan and I had no idea we were even going to get snow until we got a call from Bailee's school tonight saying that school would be canceled tomorrow. I know all you Utah and Colorado people are laughing because 2-4 inches of snow is nothing to you guys. But in a place where snow is very rare, there is no reason for all the equipment. Therefore when it does snow, the entire town shuts down! Yipee! Stay tuned for snow pics (if there's enough to play in).

Cute igloos! What family fun!! Spencer's school is closed tomorrow too. Isn't it crazy? Our families are laughing. My boys can't wait to see the snow again. Have fun. Talk to you soon.
