Snowy day!

We had such a fun, snow day today! Seattle pretty much shuts down in any sort of snow and today was no exception. We had to take the littles to the doctor's for their well-baby exams (Poppie is off the charts in height, 36th percentile for weight and developing wonderfully. Finn is off the charts in height, average for weight and also developing wonderfully) but once we got home it was snowmageddon (as this storm was affectionately named by Seattlites) for this family!

We went sledding, built snowmen, played at the park, threw snowballs and took a long walk. We warmed our hands and tummies with hot cocoa when we got home and Finn cheers-ed and said 'this is so FUN!'. And it was!

Due to the weekend, MLK day and then the weather, Finn has been home from preschool for almost a week straight and it is clear that 4 days of preschool per week is too much for him right now. It is also clear that routine is critical (duh) and that while traveling is wonderful, there is nothing like getting into a groove at home.

I hope that this is not the last snow day of the winter, because days like this allow me to slow down and smell the roses snow and realize how much fun I can have with my little family if I don't have a schedule to keep. Hmm. Maybe things need to change in my life or outlook?
