Thrills in the Chill

I woke up this morning to another snow day! Yesterday made perfect sense, the wind was awful, the roads were covered in six inches of snowy slush, the snow was still coming down and I wanted a day to sled with the kids in the snow! But Today!?? The roads are mostly cleared save a small patch of ice here and there. The sun is shinning brilliantly, and it is no longer snowing! Why no school today? All you Michiganders would laugh at us! Although in Michigan we would’ve had school yesterday as well! (It must be that the county workers are so good in Michigan:)
I am of the thinking that there need be at least two good heavy snow falls a season, but that they only last a couple of days! Just enough to make everything look pretty, sled with the kids, start a fire in the pit and drink hot chocolate! Which is exactly what we did yesterday? It was a good day, the kids all had a friend over, Paige had an extra one stop by, Jack was able to be home with us and the kids were dead tired when it was time for bed! Although I found that actually getting ON the sled with a huge belly is a lot harder than I thought it would be, it sure was fun going down the hill. Jamin is getting very good on a snow board! He makes it all the way down the hill and over the ramp on his feet! Steve brought over a snowball maker, so they had a huge snowball fight. Tori and Julie quit so I took their left over snowballs and pegged the boys! (my personal highlight of the day) We filled our bellies with a huge pan of lasagna and about 500 cookies! Just what a snow day should be!
Well Tyler is over today and they are all back outside. Mom however is ready for spring to come!
