Winter Wonderland!

I can't figure out how to move these pictures, so I will just talk about them in this order! This is Seth acting like the Abominable Snowman?

Below, we are watching our ice experiment while eating lunch. There is sugar in one cup, salt in another, and David suggested we put mustard in the third. I asked the boys which ice cube they thought would melt first. At first many thought the sugar would win, but then Jack hypothesized that the spicy mustard would melt it faster. All the other boys thought that was logical! Of course, the salt won.

Next we made some icicle art with ice cylinders and blue jello powder.

Who knew art could be so tasty?

Jack really showed his artistic talent with his blue swirls--
notice the intense concentration!

We went downstairs to our pretend winter wonderland!

Loaded our arms with sock ammo. . .

for our snowball fight!
We saw some moose footprints in the snow.

Wow, we had fun talking about winter today. What do animals do in the winter? How do they stay warm? We learned about bears, moose, reindeer, polar bears, and sled dogs.
