We made a fresh batch of finger pain, and Henson spent about an hour making artwork which is now hanging in our kitchen.
This was at the beginning...
The messy aftermath
We also made cloud dough, which is just flour with baby oil, but it makes it so that the flour still feels soft but can be molded like moist sand. It's actually pretty cool. It my be a coulp days before my kitchen floor is entirely free from flour residue, but it was worth it. I had to convince Henson even take a break to eat and nap.
Of course, what's a snow day without playing in the snow. We built our first snowman of the winter (although I guess it's not really winter anymore...) Henson lent him the hat, and gave him some flours from our bush.
And of course, I had to build a snow dog for my animal loving boy.
It didn't last long, because as soon as we had built it Henson tried to sit on it, than pick it up.
I also made the broccoli, cheese cornbread muffin recipe that I have been wanting to try. They were ok, but I think Henson liked them better than I did. Our whole wheat zucchini bread is still much better.
I didn't just play the entire day. I also reorganized (or started the process of reorganizing) the sewing room and our food storage. I can't wait until I can get some wood to build my shelves in there, it will be so much easier to keep my materials sorted. I also got a zuccini tofu lasagna ready and in the oven early, so despite playing with my toddler basically all day, I'm allowing myself to feel productive.
As much as I am ready for spring to be here, it was nice to have an unexpected snow day.
