On Monday this week it was Saint Nicholas day. All the build up last week brought us to the actual day. The children awoke with chocolate coins from around the world in their shoes. Then, we went to the Saint Nicholas exhibit at the landmark center in St. Paul.
They did craft projects of the life of St.Nick
and puzzles
We saw works from all around the world.
Of course I came home with two fabulous Saint Nicholas's :)
We also did our gingerbread house this week.
We added it to our nature table.
Slowly we will have it be complete to reflect the goings on we see out our door :)
Matthew was sick again on Wednesday.
So, trying to appease the natives we made our living room into forts
We told stories with coordinating attire...
Generally anything to try and keep them a little quiet.
Mostly, this week was devoted to colds and making things more festive.
We made a very easy snow man out of cotton balls.
we dressed him out of felt pieces.
The boys put ice skates on him. :)
Of course, like really being outside it turned into ....
A SNOWBALL FIGHT!!!
Next week we will hopefully all be healthy and learning about
Saint Lucia and Swedish tradition.
along with the evergreen tree.
until then...
~Blessings
