Like I said before, I REALLY like snow. I especially love it when it comes at the most opportune times, like it did this weekend. We woke up on Saturday morning to find a beautiful foot of fluffy white snow wishing us “good morning!” And what made it all the more welcoming was the fact that we had absolutely nothing else to do that day, other than lounge around the house in our pajamas and watch re-run episodes of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. I knew right away that we’d spend our day in the snow.
Sure enough, as soon as Johnny went down for his first nap at 8:30 am I started gathering the snow gear and bundling everyone up. We headed out and spent an hour and a half outside- shoveling, sledding, and smiling.
Johnny woke up from his nap and joined us for a few short rides down the hill. But soon everyone’s cheeks began to sting from the cold so it was time for a hot cocoa break. While we were sitting around the kitchen table, warming our fingers and toes, a friend called and invited us to join them for more snow play at one of the local high schools. So out we went for a second round. Everyone had a great time and the adults got plenty of exercise helping the kids back up the hill after each ride down.
What a wonderful way to spend a winter day!
