Last Thursday, we got a pretty good amount of snow. Enough to close the boys’ preschool on Thursday and need to shovel the car out the next morning. It was strange snow; the kind that falls in huge chunks and looks like fluffy cotton suspended in the air, followed by sleet and freezing rain which created a nice ice crust on the top. Strange snow, but perfect for sledding, as we found out Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

So early Saturday morning, we pulled the boys to Winslow’s Home for hot drinks, then pulled them back up the hill to the field next to their future elementary school for some serious<\/em> sledding. The sun came out mid-morning and man was it bright! But the sunshine made the cold not-so-cold, so it was just the right kind of weather for hurling your body down an icy hill.<\/p>\n

We stayed all morning, skipping Emil’s nap and only pulling ourselves away when exhaustion and hunger led us to believe it was somewhere near lunchtime. We must have been a spectacle: all five of us laughing and acting so goofy and screaming bloody murder while we swooshed down the hill. When the boys are all a bit older, we will brave the bigger hills, like the infamous Art Museum hill. But for now, Emil’s loud chuckles led us to believe that we chose a good spot!<\/p>\n

Saturday afternoon we spent with friends Elisha and JJ and their sweet girls, eating the\u00a0best\u00a0<\/em>guacamole I’ve ever had, messing around with mustaches and bow ties and glasses party favors, and oooing and ahhhing over Elisha’s craftiness (she recently built a new kitchen table out of reclaimed wood- it was gorgeous!) until Oliver pulled out the old naughty card and we had to go home early.<\/p>\n

Oh, and we brought over these cream puffs, the recipe of which I will be happy to share with you tomorrow if you’d like?<\/p>\n

So I guess I can say that though we are almost through all of our firewood that we had collected (for free… more on that later) last summer, and the snow is mostly turned to slush by now, and I am ready to feel cool grass and squishy mud under my bare feet… we were truly joyful this weekend at our sledding luck. Hope you had a good one too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
