I’m sorry but once again my Country Kids involves snow and lots of it.

This past 8-9 days we’ve been covered with snow and only now has it gone but the girls loved playing in the snow and seeing what adventures we could get up to.

We tried snow painting which kind of worked but it was totally successful, but to be honest I wasn’t sure what results we wanted but we were the only garden that had blue snow so I guess that was fun. Note to self buy lots of food colouring.

We also attempted to make giant ice marbles but they never seemed to freeze even after a couple of days and then Mia decided to wack one of them and ride over them in the sledge and they burst so it wasn’t the outcome I was expecting. Once again note to self buy lots of food colouring.

Once we’d used all the snow up in our garden we headed to Nana and Pop Pops to destroy make a snowman and this was the most successful outcome with Mummy’s artistic flair and Aly’s hat, scarf and gloves. Even with their noses running and watery eyes the girls loved themselves.

    That is a gorgeous looking snowman! I never did get around to making those snow marbles but from what I saw they didn’t really work properly for many people. We also went and stole the snow from my parents lawn, don’t blame you!

    I love that the snow man is bigger than them! You are the second person to mention that it was a problem getting the ice marbles to freeze. I wonder if it is just the size of them? I’ll let you off boasting about your 8 days of snow as you started with an apology. The next dump of snow has to be Cornwall! Thank you for linking up on Country Kids.

    Fab snowman! I have seen those marble balloons all over facebook with varying degrees of success. We had snow for less than 24 hours so am looking on in envy at all these fab pics!

    We tried the ice marbles this week but they were a disaster. I hear the only way to do it is to put them in the freezer…!

    I’ve never heard of ice marbles before! My one regret with the snow is that we spent so long sledging in it, we didn’t get round to making a snowman. I wanted to make a really cool, creative one. But it would just have been a regular, crap one.

    The giant ice marbles look cool and the snowman is fantastic
