The anticipation was high, maybe even more than Christmas morning. The weather man said there was going to be snow. The school, libraries, government offices and such were all closed down for the day. Surely this waws going to be the most wonderful day. Plans were made for neighborhood snow ball fights, forts, snowmen and fozen sculptures. Alas, when 6am arrived and the girls danced dow3n the stairs and out the back door, expecting to see a winter wonderland, all the saw was frozen grass.
Not to be daunted, the came inside and dressed for a snow day. Layers upon layers of tights, leggings, sweatpants and jeans. T shirts covered with sweaters and sweatshirs, then jackets. They topped out the outfits with scarves, hats, mittens and boots before the headed outside.
The ground was icy. They made cardboard sleds and slid down the yard. They formed tiny little snowballs and wrote their names in the skiff of flakes that stayed in the coldest spots. The dogs had the best of time trying to figure out what the girls were up to.
We have finished the day by making brownies and watching some good TV shows. I suspect mom will be looking for a nap this afternoon. Smile
