Monday's Surprise

So I was wrong. That dusting of snow we had on Sunday turned into a lot more. It was like a pure white blanket had been laid down gently on the lawn. Everything so fresh and clean and crisp. We ended up with about 4 inches of the fluffy stuff. And it's weird because it was those itty bitty flakes that you can barely see. I can't imagine the amount of flakes it took to generate the frosting that we woke up to on Monday.

Never mind the count, it was enough to make driving conditions dangerous and school was canceled. First thing The Heir and The Spare did was to become fans of the Facebook group 'Waking Up and Finding Out You Have a Snow Day!' Ahh, true afficionados of the snow day! On days like these I am proud to say they are definitely my boys!

We enjoyed a leisurely morning doing a lot of nothing. Texts were flying, filled with plans for later. But before the boys headed off to the park for snow football with their friends, we raided the refrigerator and cabinets and broke out the fondue pot for lunch. Some bread from the corner bakery, some cheese from the French market, some grapes and Tostitos from the commissary...quite an international spread. It wasn't fine dining, but it's what snow days are all about. Don't let the next one pass you by. And remember, no matter the weather, MAKE EVERY DAY A SNOW DAY!
