more on snow globes and tents

One of the extras of making snow globes that I hadn't considered is that glitter tends to spread. There are little glitter pieces all over the house now and wherever you walk you see a little silver shimmer. If I know glitter the way I think I do, it means we will undoubtedly have little bits of glitter in the house for the next year or two! At least through Easter. And the next people who live here will occasionally find pieces and wonder about where the glitter came from.

The indoor-ness of winter really set in today and the kids and I got out the indoor tent making supplies- sheets, chairs, pillows. Our cat Maxwell, who also is not getting to spend as much time outside as he would like, joined in the fun with the tents. He found out that this kind of tent is not really the type to walk on. Poof. He went right through the ceiling. He spent some time hiding under different sheet angles and finally ended up taking a nap among them. The tents helped to diffuse some sibling tension as well. They had their own tents and could also visit one another. A nice part of tent making!
