Snow - Yipee!

What is it about snow that makes it so magical? Even as an adult, just the weather man's mention of snow makes me all excited in anticipation of a day off and play time outside. Now granted I would have been off today no matter what (bed rest is GROSS!) but I really wanted Colby home with me today!

One of the silly (but wonderful) people I work with told the kids that in order for it to snow outside you have to flush ice cubes down the toilet, so that is exactly what Colby and I did before we headed to bed (an hour too late for a school night) last night!



I haven't slept a wink all night long and I was really beginning to get nervous about the snow not coming at all around 4:00 am! But here it is and it seems to be piling up quickly. Good thing too, but I had already started drafting an apology letter to Colby's teacher in my head for his grumpiness today had he gone to school!



I plan to get Colby all bundled up later in the day and let him have at it outside. We always have so much fun playing in the snow! This year I will still go out and tromp around, but I won't be able to participate in my FAVORITE snow play activity.............jumping on the trampoline! If you haven't tried it.........do! It is dangerous and probably shouldn't be attempted, but it is the funniest thing I have ever seen!! One of our favorite family memories in the snow!

Have a wonderful Snow Day friends...........and if you have to get out, be careful!
