Christmas at Fernbrook

I enjoyed a terrific 5 weeks at Fernbrook Elementary School. I was so sad to leave and I was incredibly surprised that I had 1st graders crying over me.

Sprinter

Is it Spring or is it Winter? Minnesota seems to be confused. For the past two Thursday's we have gotten 6- 12 inches of new snow!! Today, it is gorgeous outside even though, it is the coldest April 20th since 1888! 

The sun is as warm as it is in August so my sister and I decided to embrace the weather and build a snowman for the first time in over 10 years!

Look at the head stand!!

Even our cat was out enjoying the snow.

Bow tie Biebs and our Bow tie Snowman.

And thanks to the sun, this was our snowman an hour later...

It takes a lot of work to make a snowman. Seriously, over an hour!!! I think I know why I haven't made a snowman in over ten years!

This is the footprint snowman I made with a 7 month olds foot.

Materials:

2. White paint
3. Buttons (I used sequins)
4. Ribbon for a scarf

There are so many unique ways to make a snowman. The materials listed above are what I chose to use. The most important thing is to be creative and have fun!
