Day 58, Year 9: Snowy Day
Date: Tuesday, December 17, 2013
Weather: Snow, Temps in the 30’s F
Location: Brewer Fiddler’s Cove Marina, North Falmouth, Massachusetts
We didn’t get a lot of snow today, but it was enough to cover everything with a blanket of white. It was supposed to warm up and rain tonight, but that isn’t going to happen. We might get a bit more snow overnight and then it looks like we have a break until New Year’s Eve. That could change, will change, but that’s the current forecast.
We had a fun day with Ollie and when Sam came home from school, we launched into Christmas cookie mode. Today we made Coco Thumbprint Cookies. Sam and Jonah rolled dough into balls (Ollie with a little help from Oma). Then Sam rolled them in granulated sugar and Ollie and I rolled them in confectionery sugar. Once we put them on the trays for baking, Sam made a big thumbprint in each one and put goodies in the center of each one. He used M&M’s from his left-over Halloween candy and various kinds of decorative sprinkles. He was so good at coming up with ideas and doing it on his own. I didn’t get a photo of the end result, but they looked great and tasted even better. We will try to make a different cookie each day after school and keep them for Heather and Jed’s solstice party on Saturday night.
