Snowflakes, snowflakes, and more snowflakes!

On Friday we spent most of the time painting our beautiful snowflakes. We covered one side, then let them dry while we read a Christmas story. We talked about the letter "X" and about xylophones and other words that have "x" in them. Then we went back to painting, turning our snowflakes over and working on the other side. Zane had taken his paint shirt off while we read our story and since everyone else had left theirs on, I forgot to remind him to put his back on until he had paint all over the front of his shirt! Sorry! Our snowflakes turned out great even though they were a bit more work than I thought they would be with the kids.
