Snow (FINAL)

 SNOW

We only had snow once this year (when the snow actually stuck so the ground was white) around December 15th  and we haven't had a snowy Christmas in about five years (in New York). Since we've had almost no snow we've had no snow days this year which does mean that we get more days off on Memorial day weekend but it's more fun to have at least one snow day per year, and Maine already got four snow days this year and we haven't had that many in two years (WOW).  I really  hope that we get a snow day this year and if we don't then can we at least get snow on a weekend (how about a foot of light puffy snow and a foot of packing snow☻).

                                             What to do for a snow day☻

  1. Dance in front of the fridge for five minutes
  2. Put a spoon under your pillow
  3. Place a boot under your bed
  4. Wear your PJ's inside out
  5. Walk up the stairs backwards twice
  6. Stand outside barefoot for however many inches you want it to snow
  7. Put a white crayon in the freezer
  8. and hope for a snow day ☻

     Most of the time we still don't get a snow day anyway(as you can see we haven't had one yet) but it is still worth a try.

                     My favorite things to do on a snow day☻

  1. Drink hot cocoa under warm blankets    
  2. Make snow men and snow women                                  
  3. Create snow angels
  4. Have snowball fights
  5. Make snow forts and igloos
  6. Watch the snow come down
  7. Catch snowflakes with my toung
  8. Go sledding
  9. Go snow tubing
  10. Play with my friends in the snow
  11. and lay down frozen in the snow☻

  I hope we get snow this year and if we don't I'm going to be very upset, but inters when we get lots of snow ,  sometimes I can't wait for spring.

How to make Christmas card Final

Hey don't have money to buy a card? Well now you can make your own pretty rainbow colored heart border cards for your friends or someone els. So lets get stared.

What you need:
White tracing paper
Pencil
Scissors
One sheet of stationery (could be type color of
stationery)
And colored pencils

What to do:

1: Trace the small heart or even other shape by hand on to a piece of white tracing. Then cut it out the heart.

2: Now lay the heart cutout in the upper left-hand corner of a sheet of stationery. Use any color pencil to trace around the edges of the cutout.

3: Now you move the cutout next to the heart (or even other shape your choice) you just fished traced and traced around the cutout again.

4: Repeat the steps 2 and 3 five more times or until there is no more space. when you're done, there will be seven hearts lined up if you use stationery paper. Remember there should only be seven of them if ONLY using hearts for the shape. 

5: Color the heart in this order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, and indigo. That's all the colors of the rainbow. You can also put even colors on it. I'm just giving you an example.

6: Cut along the outer edges of the hearts as shown in the picture. When you're done, your stationery will have a really cool border.
