Today was wonderful with the kids. When Monkey and I woke up the boys had already left for school. We spent the day finishing up laundry and just hanging out together. Once school was over I picked up D and we headed out to get coffee and find a cd I want for my mother. As we were driving around town the snow started to come down again. There is nothing more beautiful than watching all the dead plants and sad houses be covered in this perfect white sheet of fluffy snow. It makes everything look so clean and fresh and peaceful. I found myself driving down the streets not worried about how the roads were getting but instead smiling from ear to ear because of how happy the snow made me. I could not wait to get home wtih the kids and start playing outside. After we hit a couple of stores I relized the roads were getting worse so I decided to cancel our shopping trip and just head home. I had the kids invite over a few friends and we all went outside to build a massive fort. It turned out great I am so proud. After about an hour or two of our playtime we got a phone call telling us that school was cancelled for tomorrow so we ended up staying outside past ten oclock just playing. I cannot wait to get up in the morning and enjoy some more kid time. I have to pack all of our suit cases for our trip and do a bunch of little stuff around the house but I figure we only live once and it never snows here so I will just seize the day and take a day off and have fun.
