Oh my goodness. When the white stuff fell Sunday night, I didn't think it would paralyze the entire city for days! I think that the 7 inches of snow in our front yard was the deepest I had ever seen. I have to admit, I was a little childlike when I ventured out the first time. I made a snow angel, I threw a few snowballs, I dove into the drainage ditch (yuck, I know), and had a generally wonderful time. I wasn't worried about our four layers of clothing and the laundry that would ensue. I let time and work stop for a moment and really let myself see it the way Parker and Logan saw it. And to the boys it was nothing short of magic! I saw a sparkle in their eyes, felt the joy in their little souls. I had a parent moment that I will never forget.
We came in and ate lunch, cleaned up, and went back out for round 2. Round 2 included snowman building. With two boys and a husband who like football, our poor snow friend lasted about 30 minutes before he was tackled for a loss at the imaginary 20.
Now...it's been 3 full days of no school, and we are looking at number 4. I am not the type to stay home lots. Even as a stay at home mom, I like to go and do, visit and window shop and walk around. So this has been nothing short of difficult for me. The magic is gone, and I would like to get somewhere now.
Posting pictures of our play day. We haven't been out in it since. I don't want to push our luck in the cold and flu department. The boys haven't asked to play again, so that's worked out just fine. Hope you are staying warm!
