Snow Day!

Ok, so it's been a little while since our last blog, but that's because not a whole lot has happened since then. We have been getting back into our routine! Preschool, work, etc...so same ol same ol, until last night. It totally snowed! By totally snowed in Seattle I mean that we got like 2 inches and some Ice...and the whole Greater Seattle Area has decided to close down. It's quite hilarious. Consequently Makayla didn't have preschool today so we bundled up and drove over (I have 4 wheel drive) to St. Edwards State Park to play in the snow! I thought it was a Great Idea. First we tried to go down the hill in an inner tube we use during the summer, but that didn't work, so I thought we could use the lid to our cooler ~ but that didn't work either. The girls ran around a little, picked up snow, and kicked it around a bit, and decided it was time to go home. With their hair blowing in their eyes and snot running down their face, we trekked back to the car. When we were all in the car and buckled in I said, "wasn't that fun girls!" I was excited to hear their reply and was surprised to hear a unanimous, "No!" I decided it was a good time for a little Starbucks :) On the way there Makayla said, "mom I've decided something." "Snow is really pretty, but I think it's too cold to play in. I like it, but it's just no fun at all." I thought that was a pretty sweet thing for a 4-year-old to decipher on her own. We came home, made cocoa for the girls, and they wrapped up in their new bathrobes from Papa and Grammy and watched a show. Even though we missed out on a day of preschool, and maybe some errands to be run, I've decided there is something precious about discovering new things with my girls. Snow is not new to me, and the girls have been in the snow a few times, but the adventure of it all is always new when I'm experiencing it through a 2 and 4-year-olds perspective!
