This season has been quite challenging for everyone with the long stretches of sub zero temperatures and larger amounts than usual of accumulated snow. We are trying to stay positive and focus on the up side of the days getting longer and sunnier which will eventually thaw us out of what feels like the longest winter ever.
On the days that it has been too cold to venture out we've been keeping busy conducting science experiments in the kitchen.
These are "Thirsty Crystals" made with polyacrylamide. They are called that because they soak up water and become soft and squishy.
Sophia and Anna are now Daisies (aka Girl Scouts) and they have been very busy with their new business venture of selling cookies. Its been a great learning opportunity and naturally it was necessary for them to purchase one of each box so they could truly know what they are selling which was deliciously convenient.
To top things off; last night we jazzed up their bedroom with some wall decorations.
Shown here in before and after pictures.
And one extra bonus with the fairies is that they glow in the dark, which as seen below made real fairies show up (red in the picture) to show their approval.
