We have had two snow days…we got around 4 1/2 inches.  Buses can’t run in that kind of snow on the backroads around here.  So we get a holiday…or two. 

I love the fresh blanket of white.  It is so clean and crisp…and fun!  To honor my new philosophy of life…live fully…I have been out with my kids playing.  We had a snowball fight, made a snowman, and went sledding down our big hill in the neighborhood.  I went sledding!  It was a blast even though it wore me out.  Then we made snow ice cream…yummy.  We built a fire and played board games.  We enjoyed life and each other.  It is not that we didn’t do these same exact things before, it’s just that now they have more meaning to me.  Instead of waiting for the kids to come in for cocoa, I jumped in there with them and we all came in together.  The small difference is a big difference!
