If the weather outside is frightful (and one or more of your children have winter birthdays), throw a snow party! Have everyone bring a sandwich for lunch.
You provide:
Lots of hot cider and hot (soy) cocoa with marshmallows
Snacks/snowman materials
Your own personal snowman
Snow Paint
2-4 drops of food coloring mixed with water in a squeeze bottle
(I bought these ketchup and mustard containers on clearance at the grocery store.)
Frozen Picassos
Yellow snow paint = Questionable color choice?
Dairy-free mitten cookies to decorate
Look! It's a marshmallow 'snowball' on the cookie mitten!
Winter-themed treat bags
Now go inside and take a nap.
P.S. As of today, I have been blogging for two years. Crazy!

Happy Blogiversary! May there be many more!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this fantastic idea for a party! One of these days, when I feel brave of having everyone's wet things in the house, I will surprise my kids and their friends with this.
Have a great weekend!

ReplyDeletehappy blogging anniversary.

HWM--Oh, nobody came inside. We had the neighbors over and sent them all home when the party was over. :)
ReplyDeleteHot cocoa! Thanks for the idea, I am going to make some now with that new coconut milk beverage.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogoversary!
I would love to get your sugar cookie recipe. I just haven't found a good one without milk and eggs. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNow I want snow just to have a snow party! How fun! And happy bloggy anniversary.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! You're such a "cool mom!"
ReplyDeleteYour snow party looks totally awesome. I would need a nap too, after all of that fun!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 2 years. Snow party looks fun, kids would love it- of course we have a little problem. How about some snow here????? I can't believe so far here in NJ we've only gotten like an inch and it didn't last.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome idea. I'll have to give that a try. I'm hoping to get a big snow storm this week. I won't hold my breath, but I can dream. I'll have to get some marshmallows just in case.
ReplyDeleteYou have to be the funnest mom ever! That looks like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary! My 2 year was sometime in January too!
Such a fantastic idea! Too bad we never get any snow...
ReplyDeleteBoy that looks fun! Of course, around here it's more like a winter barbecue party (I live in Southern California).
