Winter Wonderland...

It worked!!!!!!!!!

We woke up this morning to a WINTER WONDERLAND.

Thanks to a SWEET DADDY who was willing to BRAVE the FREEZING weather to set up a SPRINKLER.
Shasha woke up first and got all bundled up with Jay to go see IF it worked.

She came back in with an icicle about a foot long with a HUGE grin on her face!!!

AWESOME!

Then she proceeded to WAKE UP ALL the others and by 7 am...the whole family was up and OUTSIDE in 23 degree weather.

But...after admiring Daddys ICY creation, we started a fire and had a quick Science lesson on weather and temprature.

Then we watched the sun rise and had hot chocolate.

Freezing never felt sooooo WARM.

Winter?????

Winter?

In Florida we hardly have a winter....much less icicles.

So when we heard we were having a "hard freeze"...we decided to MAKE our own.

That was 2 days ago.

For the last 2 nights Jay has set up the sprinkler under the swingset.... TO MAKE ICICLES!!!

The first night was a flop....it wasn't cold enough.

The kids were devastated...you would have thought we told them the sun was NEVER comming up again.

Then last night.....it was 23 degrees.

Perfect for "making" icicles....If the hose wouldnt have been KINKED!!!!!!!!!

The kids woke up this morning and went out to find a SMALL CIRCLE of FROZEN GRASS surrounding the sprinkler.

LOL- they thought it was cool anyway!!!

Oh well....weather man calls for 21 degrees tonight...
We will TRY AGAIN.
