Just... can't... put on... another... boot....

My kids love to play in the snow. And I love it when they play in the snow too.








But you know those days when you just don't want to get out all the snow clothes and you don't want to deal with all the wet stuff afterward? I have figured out the perfect solution:





My kids loved this. They seriously played in it for over an hour. And the snow hardley melted the whole time they played. I was suprised. I just used a bowl and scooped snow from our back porch while they gathered some toys and then we scooted some stools up to the sink. Zero wet clothes. Zero clean up.

What a great idea! Now if only we could round up some snow....

What a great idea...I would totally copy that if we still lived in the snow! =)

I'm totally doing the snow in the sink soon too. Maybe if it's too stormy still to go out tomorrow...

You are a genius and I'm totally copying this!!!!!!!
I've never thought to put it in the sink. Nathan has a bowl that he keeps in our freezer but it doesn't stay as snow.

And I love the pictures of the kids playing in the snow when it's still snowing! Fun snow hut!
