The weather forecast called for snow this past Samstag (Saturday).
Many children were excited…except for the Witherall’s eldest who was afraid
that she wouldn’t be able to play outside if it snowed. I was not really
excited about the prospect of snow either...although I thought I might be able to take
some nice pictures if it did snow. Well,
Samstag came around and it only rained. The children were disappointed. Then
Samstag rolled around and it did snow... in
the Witherall home. The children were doing their afternoon craft
(this is a daily and necessary event) on Samstag when they decided to make snowflakes. When the Witherall children do crafts they go all out. I think they made about 20 snowflakes and hung them up on the windows in the dining room. It looks like it snowed inside! So
I guess it did snow...just a day late, and only in one home!
The Witherall children LOVE making crafts. EVERY afternoon
they spend hours gluing, cutting, coloring, and inventing new projects. By dinner
time there is paper all over the floor and table, more crayons on the floor than in the container, and
several projects/crafts to be proudly shown. It is always interesting to see
what they will create. So far they have made sharks, princesses, maps, instructions for Captain Hook, portraits, and racetracks. I think it is
wonderful that the children enjoy doing crafts and that Mrs. Witherall is so
cool about the mess. It is amazing how much paper 3 children can go through in
one afternoon!
