Sleeping in Snowflakes

During winter brake the kiddos made dozens and dozens of paper snowflakes.  I had great intentions of hanging them all through the house before Christmas… but that didn’t quite happen!

Every time I started hanging them this little sweetheart started crying.  Just in the last couple weeks she has truly become COLIKY!  Her poor tummy.  At this point in time if she isn’t sleeping or nursing … she is crying.

Today she gave me twenty full minutes of quiet time!!  It was glorious!

It isn’t always naps in the snowflakes…  but it is worth it.  ohhhh so worth it!

Love and peace to you on this day!

Snowman Shakers!  The snowmen are hot-glued inside small boxes.  We added snowballs and glitter before sealing the clear plastic lids.  I’m thinking we might slap a label on the back and send them to some friends who are snowless.  Maybe the postal workers will give the boxes a little shimmy and shake!  Idea via the marvelously creative Deborah at Teach Preschool:  Snowglobes-in-a-box!

Happy (real or pretend) SNOW DAYS to you!!
