The kids and I decided it would be a really cool thing to try. So, while the kids were out playing yesterday afternoon, I told them to make a pile of snow balls. I didn't think making snowballs in the cold, dark night sounded like fun . . . so I was going to be prepared!!!
When it was finally dark enough, I gathered a candle and started looking for a lighter or matches to light it. I had a bunch of loose matches in a drawer, but no box with the striker. I couldn't find my long handled lighter anywhere!! So much for being prepared! I figured I could light a match against any hard surface . . . I was wrong! I tried several things (including sandpaper, which just wore the match down to nothing) to no avail.
Finally, I called Aaron who was working his second job (delivering pizzas). He had no suggestions on how to light a match - but he said he would bring me home some. Within a few minutes he brought me a lighter and we could proceed! We built up the sides, then place the candle inside and covered it over. Pretty neat!!
Those look cool! I bet they were very pretty!
