The Adventures of Dot and Mae

Last night it snowed a bit, so Dot and Mae are staying inside and trying to keep warm. Big girl Gabriella has a snowflake that her grandfather made when he was a little boy so Dot and Mae decided it would be fun to make their own snowflakes. They are making them out of paper and some out of tin foil and then they will hang them in the window of the china cupboard. If you would like to make some snowflakes here is a place you can do it online and then print them out if you like them, it’s much less messy than using scissors and paper! http://snowflakes.lookandfeel.com/ of course, you mustn’t forget the hot-chocolate when you make snowflakes - it’s so much more cozier!

While they make snowflakes, Dot and Mae like to tell stories and jokes. Mae loves elephant jokes and here are some of her favorites:

Q: How many elephants can you fit in a Volkswagen? A: Five! Two in the front, two in the back and one in the glove compartment!

Q: How can you tell if an elephant has been in your refrigerator? A: There are elephant tracks in the butter!

Q: How can you tell if there are two elephants in your refrigerator? A: There are two sets of tracks in the butter!

Q: How can you tell if there are three elephants in your refrigerator? A: The door won’t close!

Q: How can you tell if there are five elephants in your house? A: Their Volkswagen is parked out in front!
