Our winter week: snow fort, warm cookies, and games

This week there hasn't been a lot of academic work going on.  I blame the snow.  For most of the week, schools in England have been shut because of the weather, so I let Tiger play in the garden while the snow lasted.   I discovered that my boy is not into making snowman.  He's more interested in making a snow fort, which shouldn't surprise anyone, really.



While Tiger was working hard outdoors, I stayed indoors to make him some ginger and oat cookies to come in for:


Unfortunately, Tiger then caught a cold and the rest of the week was spent indoors.  Luckily we have games to keep us occupied.

    The cookies look so good. We are hoping for snow later today. Maybe this time we will get it. You all got an amazing amount of snow.
    Blessings, Dawn

    Looks like a lot of learning took place even though he was sick, with all those good games and books.

    My kids also seem to make more forts than snow men. Since we don't get too much snow here in Germany I try to make sure they get a chance to play extra long outside when it comes. It looks like aside from the cold he had a great week. - Thanks for linking up with Hobbies and Handicrafts.

    We love snow too!! We usually call off school for the event. I am so sorry he caught a cold though. Games sounds like a lot of fun, may have been worth it ;-)

    Snow forts are the coolest! Pun intended! LOL Our snow has been the dry, non-sticking sort this year and it's been rough making those forts. Icicles make for good turrets too! ;)

    We love the snow, too, and it inspired us to do a winter nature study. Fun times! Sorry he caught a cold and hope he's feeling better now.

    Thanks for linking up to Its a Wrap. I am with your boy, as I'd rather make a fort than a snowman. I hope you'll be back this week.
