Experiences 1 :
What I did : Considering that school was cancelled, we decided that we had to build a snowman. So meet our residence for the next couple of days, it was family effort. It took a lot of shoveling and we used a Little Ceasars pizza box for the nose that my mum made, then we used pine-cones for the buttons as we didn't have enough rocks, but we did have two good ones for the eyes.

Experiences 1 :
What I did : We live on a hill, so when it snowed me and my brother had an idea to go "sledding" down it. However we don't own any sleds, so we use our stomachs to push ourselves down the hill. We used upper and arm strength to push ourselves down the hill, it sure wasn't easy but we managed. Our arms hurt really bad the next day!!

Experiences 1 :
What I did : Me and my friend hung out and decided to paint tote bags. We both used acrylic paints, brought each a plain bag, and started to work on it. It was pretty fun. The background I painted is my favorite part as it mixed a lot of red, pink and white to create a marble effect and I love it.

Experience 2 Reflection :
Considering I don't have any upper body strength, I was able to push myself down my hill like a penguin! It was a lot of fun, we have a large hill and it took a lot to keep us sliding. Me and my brother were able to have some bonding time and really make this a core memory in our lives. When going down the hill you have to keep your body on the move. We thought of a way to stop some of the friction, by we keeping our legs up and started using our arms like your trying to swim, but instead of pushing water its the frozen version. Once we hit the big dip down our hill, we moved a lot faster, due to the built up kinetic energy. Overall great memories were made and next time we'll actually get sleds.
