winter distractions

First the multiple dumpings of snow, then weeks of unrelenting frigid temps, and now we've been submerged into a cold, thick fog for days on end. It's been odd weather this year for sure.

But we've found a few things to distract us. There was a birthday. A certain young man here turned nine. And I can't even believe it.

And we've made a few things. N made a snow globe:

We followed these easy directions. She made the funny little snowmen out of Fimo and we used water not oil. She insisted on the pink glitter snow.

And I made a desert terrarium:

mushrooms

I don't think mushrooms grow in the desert, but the desert part was unplanned. Apparently it is nearly impossible to find live moss in Kansas in January.

Happy Monday Tuesday, everyone.
