Hooray for A Snow Day!

We finally got what we've been praying for all winter.  Fourteen days before Spring.  

A full SNOW DAY!!  A whole 2.5 inches.
Who cares, Michigan residents?!  We'll take it however we can! :)

Breakfast.  The day started out decently.

Eggs Florentine & Homemade Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

Heavy advocators of Harley-Davidson.  And broccoli. 

Biker stud diggin' in.

After breakfast, we decided to head out to the slopes.  The sledding slopes.  We started getting dressed to go outside in the snow.  Approximately 2 1/2 hours and 14 layers later, we piled in the van and were on our way.  Boys were excited.

With most schools closed due to the weather, the one place that we normally go to was pretty packed.  We drove around until we found something that worked.  We had it all to ourselves.

Fun going down.  Not so fun walking back up for whoever had the chunky one. ;)

He loved clomping around in all of his snow get-up.  

After the second or third time down, the boys were starting to lose their happy faces.
We persevered for more memories. :)

Multi-tasking at its best.  Videotaping with one hand, steering a sled with the other, while avoiding invisible tree stumps and protecting the firstborn.   I'm 29, and there's no excuse for this weird laughter coming outta me.   None at all.  

We lost.  

It wasn't long before faces turned beet red, noses became drippy and the fusses started to commence.

We went down a couple more times, against our better parental judgement.  Cole's crying had escalated, echoing off the amphitheater walls, and we knew we needed to hit the trail fast before the park ranger tracked down these very loud wails to an expected crime scene.  

It was the longest walk back to the van.

Cole was now complaining that his feet were really hurting.  And I had carried him back so it wasn't from the trek to the van.  His socks were still dry, but his feet were FREEZING.  He wouldn't let me rub them.  On our 5 minute ride home, I googled everything from frostbite to hypothermia.  Got home, changed his clothes/socks, wrapped him up in a blanket, laid him in my bed with more covers and he was ready for a video. :)  After his video was over, I asked him, "How are you feeling?  Are your toesies any warmer?"  He said, "I feel berry dood (good)."  

Ahh, sheww.  Nothing a video couldn't fix, and he still has all 10 toes.  

All three guys took a longgg winter's nap.  We ate dinner and took the boy's to Barnes & Noble for some train time.  

Fun snow day.  

Now.  What's the chances for another one tomorrow?

Wishing and hoping and thinking and praying...
