snowflakes

I'm not going to set myself up for failure this year with a promise to blog everyday. However, we do have an advent activity calendar all typed and ready to go so I figure I can share some of the fun things we do this month.

Tonight, we cut out snowflakes. The boys are always thrilled when I put scissors in their hands since I generally have to keep them hidden away. I just loved their intense looks of concentration.


Our table was covered in snowflakes and paper scraps. We experimented with different folding techniques (some of which worked) and I tried to get fancy. Currently our wintery masterpieces are hanging on the banister garland. That is all the snow I need, thank you very much. I'll keep this mild 50 degree weather for a few more weeks if possible.
