Whee! It's a snow day!
My son had his first official snow day, which we celebrated with a few runs down a small hill in our apartment complex. Despite the cold, this California boy couldn’t get enough of the trudging up the hill and the split-second ride. As he said to me, I’m not ready to go inside–this from the little boy who loves flip-flops more than anything else in the world. As I shivered alongside the other parents, my mind flashed back to those magical days when an impending snow storm meant getting up extra early to listen to the radio, praying that my school would be named as closed for the day. After an hour of shivering, I cajoled my son to go back inside for some hot chocolate and another rousing game of Monopoly.
