Snow Day Reversal


The kids got a Snow Day on Friday.  We got a glorious amount of snow.

As the weekend arrived, I dreamed of sitting by the fire and reading all day, with the kids running around outside.  Instead, the kids stayed inside, while I shoveled tunnels and attempted to build a fort.  My original goal was to get the them out.  Shouldn't kids always play outside on snow days?  [Although, I should know that the "shouldn't" lies in clinging to ideas of how things should be, and imposing that on my kids.]

But my motivation quickly shifted anyway.  I soaked up the beauty, the peace and the quiet of being outside on my own.  At least for a bit.
