with a snow day
a together day
a pyjama day
all day.
We were also home Monday but it looked like this...
Today?
It was lovely.
It started at 5:30 am as I looked out the window dreading the drive.
I'm simply not a fan of driving a toddler around when I can't see a thing.
First I heard from auntie Carol who couldn't get out of her driveway.
Then I watched people who left at 5:40 come back at 6.
Then I called the Vice Principal to say I wouldn't be in.
Wrote my plans out.
And then? For only the 3rd time in 20 years my board called a snow day.
So at the break of day we dressed in our winter layers
(over pj's of course)
Shovelled some snow in the early dawn light.
Trekked to visit Mr. Horton...
Shovelled more snow.
Rode around on a sled.
Climbed mountains.
Shovelled some snow.
See a pattern?
Break the pattern for the 3 hour nap.
Now repeat.
Wrapped it all up with yummy spring-rolls, noodles and teeny tiny oranges (Ben ate 7)
a frolic in the snow
(he is in fact standing up here
in snow as deep as his legs are long
trying to walk)
an evening trip to try out the new skates
(at a rink that didn't open for god knows why)
a delicious Tet gingerbread man
about 15 books
and bed.
Lovely.
And now there is only two days until we can do it all over again...
I think I may love snow days (and Tet of course).
