Happy New Year Blog World! We rang it in on the couch in pjs sipping on pedialite, eating only saltines and jello. Sounds fun I know. We owe thanks to the nasty stomach bug who visited each member of our family during the holiday break.
Following that, I'll be real honest...at the first mention of a possible snow day and single digit temps (meaning we can't leave the house once again), I was having to dig real deep to find patience and a happy spot with the recent sickness, cold weather, long breaks and LOTS of together time in our house.
But then Emmy sprang out of bed this morning with a huge smile saying "it snowed, it snowed." They couldn't wait to step outside despite the freezing temps and lack of warm clothes (notice my daughter is wearing socks for mittens - does that make me a bad mom?). They ran, ate snow and attempted snow angels out of less than an inch of snow. And to capture these sweet smiling faces and sheer joy with barely a dusting of snow just warmed my heart and helped me find that happy spot. I am so happy to spend a little more time with these spunky, energetic little ones before they head back to school.
