Snow Day!!

For the last week the local weather has been abuzz about the Blizzard of 2011 that was heading our way.  Tuesday night was d-day and the days before were filled with warnings of 15 plus inches of snow and crazy winds. People were clearing grocery store shelves and waiting for the blizzard. Well it did get really windy and cold and it even snowed but we only ended up with about 7 inches when all was said and done. It was enough for a snow day though and Anna was super excited. We spent lots of time crafting, baking and playing in the snow.  Here are a few highlights:

Splat!

Today we returned to normal and I made a treat to reward Anna's class for meeting a goal of everyone having their folders in on time for me to fill. I made chocolate covered strawberry marshmallow pops and I think they turned out so cute. Anna tried one and said they taste yummy too.
