Snow Day

What a blessing Friday was! A completely unexpected snow day came along early this December. There was no pre-snow day storm chatter at school or anxious before bed weather checks. I didn't expect it at all! It was so beautiful to hear Ron's voice around 5:30 telling me to go back to sleep and enjoy a day home with my family.

And, enjoy it we did. The kids couldn't understand why I wouldn't put on their snow gear as soon as they woke up (and in the dark). As soon as daylight broke, we were out in the yard digging and playing. After a week of telling Mia that everybody poops, Ben proclaimed all morning that "Everybody snows" as well. They were also thrilled with our miniature Frosty. Mia kissed him repeatedly but later decided that he was only allowed to kiss her on the cheek. I had wondered if our outdoor excursion would last 5 minutes but we were out at least a half hour (an eternity in toddler time). I'm hoping for more of these days than we were granted last year!
