Snow Day!

Sunday morning we woke up to a snowy surprise! It was beautiful, but very cold and I was so glad that we recently had our entire house weatherized. We had our weekly pancake breakfast and then bundled up and headed outside. Jack had never seen real snow before and he laughed and laughed. I felt bad, though, because we realized that we don't have gloves for him so his poor little hands were freezing cold. I ended up stuffing his hands up into the arms of his snowsuit, but realized later that a pair of socks would have been more effective..


I think we got around 5 inches. That' s a lot for us!


My coworker Laura gave us this snowsuit. It's super warm and cozy (and apparently it tastes good, too!).

I do not drive in the snow. One, I am scared of sliding around on the road. Two, I am afraid of the other cars sliding around on the road. Oh, and three, I don't know how. Many people have offered to teach me, but I say that ignorance is bliss. I use any amount of snowfall as an excuse to stay home and I'm perfectly happy with that. So Sunday we stayed home and enjoyed the snow for most of the day. Now, I have to clarify... Brent is not afraid to drive in the snow, in fact he enjoys it. I, however, refuse to get into the car when it's snowing unless it's absolutely necessary (and no, going to the home show at the fairgrounds is not absolutely necessary). He finally convinced me to go to the grocery store with him in the afternoon and I about had a heart attack as we were going down 28th. So aside from that, our snow day was pretty fun.
