For those who don't know, starting last night and lasting until this afternoon, Boston got hit with about a foot of snow. I looked out the window this morning and realized there was little chance of going to lab and after seeing that daycare was canceled, Josh declared today a family snow day!
We had a lazy morning in which I made some oatmeal fruit bars while Isaac napped and then we decided to bundle up and go outside. We put Isaac in his new snowsuit and Ergo (both gifts) and braced ourselves for the cold and snow. It was a beautiful day, but I was a little paranoid about Josh walking in the street while carrying Isaac, "please walk on the sidewalk!"--even though the sidewalk hadn't been cleared yet.
We ended up wandering over to friends' Margot and Mike's house. They were also outside so they greeted us on the street and invited us up for a hot drink. As Isaac played with their daughter Roisin's toys, we sipped hot chocolate (with marshmallows!).
Eventually, we made our way home while Isaac napped in the carrier. Josh shoveled out the car and I prepared a dinner with wheat berries (a novel ingredient for me).
Here are some pictures celebrating today:
Everyone looks joyous in the revelry and makes me smile. I like the idea of a family snow day. I suppose, as a former teacher, Josh is authorized to declare these breaks.
