Friday: snow day

Isaac had another snow day today!  Today was an excellent day for a snow day, and we enjoyed it.

We decided to make graham cracker houses.  Isaac's wanted to make them since Christmas, when there just wasn't enough time.  We had to go the store first to get groceries and graham cracker house supplies.  Joshua was not having it.  This is the second huge tantrum we've had this week.  I ask him to get dressed and he doesn't want to.  He throws something and then runs away from me.  (Spoiler alert: I win.)

Anyway, we finally got started. I made Joshua's and mine; Isaac did most of his.


We let them sit for a few hours.  I've found that letting the frosting harden at least a little bit makes things easier.  After rest time we started with the candy.  Joshua did his own candy.  He got many of the candies on, but if they happened to fall off he quickly decided that they just wouldn't say on and they went in his mouth.  :)

After this Isaac and Joshua played well with each other...it was some kind of pirate candy land game that involved a lot of running.  And a lot of pillows.  But they were happy and content, so they could take all the pillows they wanted.
