The new blender makes for a fun hour of snow play. Zoe and I used the ‘crush ice’ function to make a big bowl of snow…then the playmobil “jack and annie” (we’ve been reading Magic Tree House lately), and the fairies built a snow fort and a snow man.  Avi even got in on the action; he loved splatting his hands into it but started to cry when they got cold.  He then laughed hysterically when he got to run his hands under the warm tap water.
