It snowed....for REAL. The crazy snow-preppers are feeling so vindicated for buying ALL the groceries. Do people truly not already have enough food to keep them and their offspring alive for 48 hours? You don't have a can of soup and some oatmeal packets? Luckily I worked a shift at Hy-Vee the day before weather arrived. It was busier that Thanksgiving and Christmas combined.
We declined to go out and shovel until it was done. Maybe a mistake, considering it took us an hour and a half to dig out the driveway. But it was the most delightful snow day. Church was cancelled and we made good food and watched movies. Absolutely worth the end of day shoveling workout.
Our darling friend Faith invited us over to take part in her families sledding tradition. I am not well-known for my adventurousness or my willingness to be chilly, but even I went down a few times! It was super fun!
Laney was the dark horse and went down first and frequent. Everly got brave after Mark offered a "major award" for the brave ones. AJ refused to go down, so Mark and I expressed our indifference and went inside for cocoa. We've been around this parenting block before.
What do you know? I looked out the window and spied her flying down the hill. By the time we left, she was getting a running start and leaping onto the sled face first.
The perfect hill!
