There was just enough of a thin sheet of ice on everything to make things dangerous...and incredibly beautiful if you didn't have to dredge out in it.
I was lucky enough that I didn't HAVE to go anywhere, so staying home in our pjs and eating homemade donuts for breakfast at 10am was a nice option to have.
On the flip side, it means another day of not going to the gym and working off all the baked goods we tend to make on these long days home.
I think I am going to rename all snow days, EAT DAYS. I find baking very comforting and tend to bake when stuck indoors too long.
If we were living in the North Pole, I am sure I'd be jolly and plump too!
Once again there was some Wii.
And some whining...
And some homemade playdough.
(which reminds me so much of 2nd grade, when my Mom would make that salty homemade dough for us and I loved to play with it when it was still warm from being cooked.
And even though I knew it tasted horrible, I just had to taste it.
Every time.
Maybe that explains why I am the way I am...too much playdough).
Anyway, I get all excited when I see the same look of anticipation in the girls' eyes for something I remember from my own childhood.
I want nothing more than our kids to get excited for such simple pleasures.
And since this was a day if reminicing about things from my childhood, we did one of my all time favorites...mini lunches.
I cut up the sandwiches and all the fruit into teeny tiny pieces and served it on Bryn's tea set.
The girls thought this was the coolest thing ever!
And for a brief moment, I was the awesomest Mom ever!
(and a nod to my Mom for the same treats when I was little. I hope this brings the same fuzzy memories to my girls as well).
