I cannot fathom living somewhere without snow days.
We had a lovely one yesterday. We started our day with a nice breakfast: turkey bacon during the week! Then we all bundled up and shoveled our 10 inches of snow, built a "snow mountain" in the yard, cleaned snow off the cars, and took a baby sled/ dog walk. We came in for a mac and cheese feast. Next came the Easy Bake oven and a tasty-albeit small- layer cake. We figured out the 100s collection and finished up some valentines. When Claudia woke up from her nap, there was dramatic play in the basement. Then an outing to Trader Joe's to get more chocolates before heading out to go sledding on the big hill.
I felt really greedy for wanting another day.
