It only took until January 21st for snow to arrive in New York City (not counting the freak snowstorm we had back in October). Did it snow much where you are? I heard that it was snowing pretty hard in some parts of the Midwest and freezing rain in other parts. It’s been an odd winter so far but it was pleasant to wake up to a blanket of snow on the ground albeit a thin blanket. It’s funny how a fresh coat of snow can make your surroundings seems magical and change your perspective a little.
My older son has been waiting and waiting and waiting for snow to arrive. On our walks home from school, he kept asking, “Will it ever snow??!?” and “How can it possibly be winter if there’s no snow?” with an exasperated huff that he has perfected as a five year old. He was beyond happy when he looked out the window this morning and he let out a huge squeal of laughter. We rushed outside to play in the snow and we had the park all to ourselves. As he was getting ready to go to bed tonight, he said to me, “Mommy, today was the best day ever. I had so much fun.”
How Fun!
