Snow Days

We're on our third snow day. The family sleeps while I enjoy the quiet. Yesterday we had a snowball fight, made snow angels, took pictures, ate snow cream, baked homemade cinnamon rolls, walked and slided through the streets of snow, played a ruthless game of Sorry, and started a snowman. The only must-do left for today is to finish the snowman.

We saw three teenagers snowboarding down our hill and two cars stopped without arriving at their destinations. If you consider that the first is possible, the second doesn't seem extraordinary.

Sometime before Christmas, I need to wrap presents.

The computer is mostly down due to a software crash and troubled reinstall, so we're back to a simpler way of life, like it or not. How long will we make it? Hopefully, we will look each other in the eyes a few times before the snow melts, dispose of unkind words, and reengage.

But right now, it's time to take out the garbage, on the off chance the truck gets up the hill.
