Snow Day

Project 365 *2 -- Day 26

    It snowed! Well, more like...it dusted! But snow is snow, right? Matt and I think so. We bundled the kids up, and went out in the snow this morning before it melted. Matt and I love the snow. Our families love the snow. We are snow people. We are the kind of people that get pissed off at the weathermen who dislike it. How can you hate snow? There is so much fun to be had in it.

     It probably snowed less than an inch around here. That didn't stop us. We went out. In our snow gear. With our sled. And we went sledding. Well, I watched, and Tobin slept. But, we were out there. We found little hills here and there with just enough snow on it for the sled to work. Adelyn had such fun. She would slide to the bottom of a hill, get up, and say, "again!"

     When we came in, we had hot chocolate. Which is a huge treat for Addy. She made a big mess, but she loved it. And it was special. So, that's all that matters. After our hot chocolate, we watched, The Lorax, and cuddled on the couch. 

     It was a fun day. I always loved snow days as a child. As an adult though...they kind of lost their luster. As an adult, a snow day meant a hard commute, and crazy lines at the grocery store. But now, as a parent, snow days are once again what they should be. A day for playing in the snow, and hot chocolate, and movies, and cuddling.

     Thankful for this snow day.

Sweet Tobin. Sleeping away.

Pretty trees.

Admiring the mug. It has cute mice on it.

Too. Much. Hot. Chocolate.

Playing in a fort we made.

Roxy liked the fort.

"Get me outta here."

"Please?"

Fun hair.
