Snow Day

This time I was ready for the snow day. It's January and here that's when snow is perfectly acceptable. When the automated school recording thing called at 6, I smiled and went back to sleep. Lovely. (Of course, this is also when I muttered "It better actually snow today" because in Virginia, where people seem to fear snow, school is often canceled before the first flake ever falls. Dumb, I know).

So, we went outside and it was beautiful. The snow fell on us the entire time (I tried to take a picture of what I looked like when we came in since I forgot a hat but I couldn't convey the sense of crunchy snow caked hair adequately), it was even deep enough for us to sled without tearing up the grass. Oh, and the sledding. I laughed until I couldn't catch my breath. Although I've never passed out from laughing so hard before, I think I'd like to try it. The kids were great except when S flew into the shed. Knew I should've shut that door... Sorry, S!! M actually got airborne on a solo mission. Awesomely Awesome. Sledding and snow and grilled cheese with tomato soup for lunch. What else do you need? Oh, right, husbands to come home in time for Round 2. That would make it even better.
