Snowflakes

Lon and I are reading a book called Snowflake Bentley, written by Jaqueline Briggs Martin and Illustrated by Mary Azarian.  Lon is fascinated by the book. That someone actually figured out how to take snowflake pictures.  Lon also  like the fact that even though no one believed him or they thought he was nuts, he kept going after what he wanted, what he believed. 
After school today, since we did not have homework, we made snowflakes out of paper!
Lon working hard to cut the paper. It was really tough and I helped him make the cuts

Still trying to do it by himself!
The best part was opening them up to see what we made

This is going to be so cool!

The snowflakes. we made 10, 5 diamonds and 5 circles. Lon thought it was so cool I could turn a square into a circle.
Now we are just hoping for real snow. I know they are getting too much snow on the East Coast.We would just like a little!
