Snow/Ice Day #3

Had to get even more creative today to keep these ice days fun!  We have literally been stuck inside our house (all four of us + Cooper) since Monday night.  The family time has been priceless.  We have already been notified that school is closed tomorrow too.  Our back patio is still frozen like an ice skating rink.  I'm pretty sure you could play ice hockey on it.  Are we still in Texas?

Today, we made valentines!




Bryan created a picture scavenger hunt for the boys this afternoon.  They loved it!



The scavenger hunt ended with a great prize!  Heart shaped marshmallows in a McQueen ziplock baggie!


We made noodle necklaces!  Thanks to Jenn (my sister) for the noodle necklace idea.  Bryan had the idea to dye the noodles with food coloring.  It was super easy.  1/2 cup of warm water with 1 tsp. vinegar and about 20 drops of food coloring.  Soak the noodles for abour 2 minutes and lay them out in a single layer to dry.  So fun!



Tomorrow we might just depend on Toy Story and Cars to entertain us!
