I don't appreciate Winter going and justifying our sadly short Christmas break
by making us use up all of our snow days. I want school to be cancelled on beautiful, sunny days instead. Then we could use those days for fun outings or something.
Oh, well. I guess you have to be grateful for any 5-day weekend.
Our street: preshovelling. Though our neighbor did snowblow the sidewalk for us.
Here is where Matt (our cat) tried to go out in the snow. ....at least that was Jonathan's original story. As it turns out, Jon thought Matt would enjoy experiencing snow and threw him out there. Matt did not.
Aside from the obligatory digging out of the cars, we've been enjoying the snow from inside today.
The last time we had a snow day, I took the kids sledding.
Anthony was the sweetest big brother ever.
He took Cozy down on the sled and then pulled her the whole way back up.
Once was enough for Cozette.
She demanded to go home and couldn't stop talking about how mean Anthony was for making the sled go so fast! I think she'll have to stick with the bunny slope in our back yard for a few more years.
You could probably chart a nice slope relating age to sledding enjoyment.
James' reaction was slightly better than Cozy's.
Jon had fun, but he was over it pretty quickly.
Annika and Anthony were enthusiastic....
....and innovative.
Weeeeeeeeee!
Where was Sofia? Sitting by the fire, drawing.
Now, when I suggest we go sledding, the little kids act like I'm
threatening them....so we all get to sit by the fire.
That's a lot of snow Lia! Sounds like everyones getting dumped on! I had to laugh at your last sentence. Sledding is cold business sometimes best left for the big kids. I took the kids to the new aquatic center yesterday and I froze! I begged the kids to let me sit in the hot tub for a little bit but that made it worse! Just thinking about being cold makes me cringe. We need to talk, I miss your voice.
ReplyDeleteWe had church cancelled last week for just a little more than an inch of snow. I spent most of Sunday reading the 1881 "Appanoose Times" on ancestry.com. Snow is wonderful even if it just makes you appreciate being indoors and warm.
