Beautiful Thing: Snow Days
So yesterday I posted about snow, and how I don’t like it but I’m learning to embrace it. Well, I had all day to embrace it.
Yesterday we woke up to a blanket of snow and that was supposed to be the end of it. With a weather forecast that called for just a few more flurries, it ended up snowing heavily most of the afternoon and into the evening and then even some more overnight.
So late yesterday my kids got to play in the yard, build a snowman and go sledding. And this morning they woke up to even more joyful news: no school.
I remember the joy of an unexpected snow day. When you’re in elementary school, nothing is more magical. So after I post this blog I’m going to whip out the hot chocolate and settle in with my kids for a fun and cozy day (and maybe a bit more sledding).
