Snow days 2014

So we did get 6 snow days this winter plus the deep freeze and being the person that I am I over exaggerated and over documented the fun and excitement of it going from 65+ degrees to under 20 degrees (and essentially got as cold as -2 degrees) in a 24 hour time span and again when we got 6 inches of snow! 

We did a science experiment by filling up a water balloon and setting it outside and checking on it every 2 hours and noting the temp! It didn't take long to freeze! And then he enjoyed seeing how long the warm water in the sink would take to melt the ice marble! 

And like we always did when I was growing up, the night before expected snow we wear our pajamas inside out and flush ice down the toilet! He got a huge kick out of it! And we ended up with lots of snow the next morning and we made snow cream and ate it before breakfast! I mean come on who doesn't do that!? We had snow ball fights and went sledding (the top of the hill had knee deep snow!) and read snowman themed books! --we didn't end up making a snowman because the snow in our yard was too fluffy to pack but he didn't seem to mind!
