Tradition

At the elementary school that my boys go to (went to), they have an annual tradition for winter carnival where they build a wall made up of ice blocks that each of the children make (flashback here).The few weeks before the ice block making time, we spend time 1) remembering to buy milk in a carton, 2) remembering not to put the said carton into recycling, 3) remembering to buy food colouring, 4) remembering to wear gloves because I always seem to have green or blue fingers the day after making the ice block, 5) remembering to actually make the ice block and 6) remembering to actually take it to school on the wall building day. Quite a process! 😉

This year, it was actually good wall building weather. In the past, it has been either super warm and rainy or super cold and just terrible to be outside kind of weather. Yesterday was just right 💜

This is also the first year that Oliver is the sole boy at the elementary school (Nicklas is now in high school with Alexander) so he gets to be the star of the yearly ice wall pictures.

Wishing you all a happy Wednesday xox
