Today was a great day to play with anything cool so we got out some colored ice cubes that I had been saving. 
The kids had fun laying them out on some of our tree rounds, watching the colors melt together, noticing how quickly they melted in the sun, 
...burying them in the sand, 
...and even adding them into their mud mixtures! 
Add Comment Today is APRIL 18th. And this is what it looks like outside our windows. 
Yes, snow is wonderful. Yes, we love to play in it. But, yes, we have had enough. The kids are so ready for warmer weather that we have had the vast majority of our imaginative free play consumed by thoughts of swimming! So, today we had a "Pool Party" day inside. I turned up the heat a couple of degrees and the kids all spent the morning in their swimsuits! We pretend- sunbathed (don't worry, we even got out some sunscreen first ;) )... 
...pretended to swim a little... 
...had lots of beach ball fun... 
...and even planned, predicted, and observed sinking vs. floating while we played in the water! 
We also read a book that was perfect for the occasion! 
It has been a day full of fun and imagination! :) | More ways to join the fun!:
