Snow day!!!!

Not only is "snow" one of my favorite words, but getting ready for it with the anticipation of PLAYING in it is totally awesome to me...

I LOVE my new coat, my new mittens, my new boots and any and all hats. For that reason, I repeatedly point to each piece of equipment and tell my mom exactly what it is that I'm wearing, with very careful pronunciation.

(Can we go "side???" and play in the snow already?)

Mom & Dad took me sledding down a really big hill after the recent really big snow, but first I had to explore the snow, all by myself (my personal motto of late.)

(I literally went laughing through the snow.)

You should have heard how hard I laughed when I went blasting down the hill with dad...

I laughed so hard I didn't even care that I was getting crushed with freezing cold snow and dirt.

For me, the worst part about a good snow day is parting with the snow.

Maybe that's why dad let me taste the pile of the "snow" I identified on his plate after sledding. Even though mom called it "powdered sugar," that snow tasted so good that it made being out of the cold snow worth it.

...Until the next big snow...(sigh)...
