More fun for the 2nd snow day.

Yes, we are having a 2nd snow day. no one is stir crazy, yet. Justin did go to work. Since i am not a fan of being cold and wet outside, I thought i would bring the snow inside. This idea worked pretty good. I got a large rubbermaid container and filled it with snow from the front yard. Luckily, the snow was light and fluffy and shoveled into the container easily. Also, the lightness helped because then i carried it upstairs to the bathroom. (so if you do this and the snow is heavy, use a smaller container many times or not too much snow.) The kids had not even noticed that i did this while they ate their breakfast.

Sophia was so excited, she said, "wow, you are the best mom ever." She was pretty excited to be able to play in the snow and the only part that was cold were her hands. You can see that the kids climbed right into the bathtub to play.





I do not recommend to do this right after you have cleaned the bathtub. Since I had left the container on the driveway, there was a lot of dirt. Then the snow was dirty too, after i dumped all the snow out, i then had to scrub down the bathtub. However, it was worth all the 'contained' dirt that it made.
