Snow Day!




Today is a snow day! Not school, no plans, just a stay-in-doors-and-light-a-fire-kinda-day. We rarely get snow here so this is a real treat. It's cold, cold, cold. We Pacific Northwester's are utter weather wimps. In the summer when temperatures get into the 90's we all begin to melt. With cold temps, it's no difference. We all scramble to find our winter hats, gloves and warmest jackets. Let's not forget the mad dash to find our kid's snow pants and snow boots (worn only 1-2 times last year) only to find them 3 sizes too small! This is Forrest's and my conversation regarding snow boots: "Push" I say. "I am, I am, I'm doing the best I can. Mom these boots are way too small, they hurt." "No they're not, try harder!" I say. After investigative work, I realize the boots are a size 1 and Forrest is currently wearing size 4 shoes. Oops!
