Photo Essay: Ode to Snow Play

Snowball

by Shel Silverstein

I made myself a snow ball as perfect as could be.
I thought I’d keep it as a pet and let it sleep with me.
I made it some pajamas and a pillow for it’s head.
Then, last night it ran away.
But first — it wet the bed.

Woosh!

Don’t let a little cold weather stop you. Bundle up and get out there! Reconnect with the joys of play and share them with the children in your world.

    Bethe,
    My day started off with dropping my son at his SCHOOL… okay SCHOOL- all the kids were outside in the play area sledding… I KNEW I had picked right for him. That made my day.
    Thanks for the reminder!

    Hey Bethe! Awesome post. We got (maybe) three flakes on Dec. 26th and my oldest son was thrilled. Wishing we had even a little of the white stuff down here since it’s already cold. Love the pictures and LOVE Shel Silverstein. Just mentioned that book to my son the other day. Got to find it . . .
    As a side note, I’m referencing your blog today and one of your Sir Ken videos you posted a while back.
