SNOW DAY!

We are both home today even though it’s a Wednesday.  Crazy!  Scott was going to try to go to work, but the roads were so bad our village closed them all.  Apparently they didn’t even have enough police to help the people who were already stranded due to the weather.  We slept in, and then had pancakes and bacon for breakfast.  Yum!  We were out of regular butter, so we had to use our turkey-shaped butter we bought for Thanksgiving and never used:


 
It’s not quite so cute anymore.

We got all bundled up to go play outside.  I look big and puffy in these pictures, but keep in mind I’m wearing something like four layers.  The wind is super cold.


Open the front door and SNOW is there!!


The undisturbed snow in our yard looked pretty to begin with:


I waded in and it was up above my knees.



See to the right of the hydrant the guy walking his dog?   He’s kind of behind the tree.  Anyway, that dog was super cute!  The snow was taller than he was so he was more jumping instead of walking through it, and he was covered in snow.  He seemed to be having a pretty good time though.  He came over and inspected me and Scott before continuing his jaunt through the snow.

Scott took the plunge and fell backward into the snow.  I just caught him getting up.  He looks like a snow monster in this picture:


I fell backward next.  It felt nice until I realized how cold it was.

 

Then I made a snow angel.  This is me trying to get up out of the 3 feet of snow; I’m not very graceful.


We came back in and I had some raspberry hot chocolate and watched The Ghost Writer.  It was a little slow in the middle but overall I liked it.  This afternoon my plan is to clean out our hallway closet.  I have to do this every few months or it gets totally out of control.  Okay, it’s pretty out of control right now, but that’s why I am going to clean it out!
