snow day #3

Another snow day! We were pretty sure of it, so it didn't come as much of a surprise when we saw our school on the closures crawl on TV last night. I'm totally spoiled by being able to sleep in again. The big storm went through, but we are still getting constant flurries. It's nice. It's so pretty with the sun out and watching them fall. They sparkle.


Matthew got out today, but didn't last for more than a couple of hours. Not only did his asthma start to bother him a bit, but since he's so pale and almost transparent in the first place, his skin was not happy about being out there for long. He had bright red cheeks when he came in. He did have fun while he was out though, and had his first experience with a sled. He loved it.


Megan was trying to be a good big sister and take him for a few tandem rides with her, but this was the result of the first try. Honestly, our neighbor has one tree.....and they found it. The kids that have been over using our hill have managed to flatten out some pretty good grooves to the LEFT of the tree. I don't know how these two got so off course, but it made for a good picture. Especially because the only reason I have this photo is because Megan was wanting me to watch this amazing sled dismount that she kept bugging me to watch. - That's some dismount there Megan. haha.

I am loving hearing the screams of kids as they slide down the hill. I made a pot of hot chocolate that is simmering on the stove for hot chocolate breaks. Winter is cool.
