crazy carpet::Snow days rocked when i was a kid.
Anyhow, getting out of school was always fun.
Close to our home was a really great sledding hill and when the snow would finally let up, that triple whammy of a incline was one of the best places to be.
If memory serves correctly, ours was red with yellow handles.
Today would have been a perfect day to go sledding across the street on the small hill.
But the snow never stopped long enough.
And it was freaking cold all day long.
Last time i checked something around 20 cms had fallen.
Earlier today during one of the snow breaks bumper wanted to go outside.
Unaware of just how freaking cold it was outside she put up a fight and refused to put on her jacket.
We found a compromise.
Here she is in her boots, snow pants, and my jacket.
Or as i like to call it a full length evening ski dress.
We prepped for this one, thanks to the media weather warnings and the grocery and video store were both covered.
We went with and will be watching it tonight.
Are you getting dizzy yet from all the back and forth through time?
Boiler problems and unstable pipes were always a plus going to school in a building worthy of a museum.
But if no radio announcement came there was consolation in the fact that the playground at lunch time was going to be an awesome landscape of forts and fights for the next few days.
Snow forts rocked especially when i was short enough to take full advantage of them.
