And So it Begins....

We have a snow day today......or more accurately an ice day, as there isn't much white stuff. We slept in and had warm chocolate muffins for breakfast and by 9:15, JT was jonesing to get outside and slide around in the ice. It's just 20 degrees and the wind is blowing so it's cold. But this boy was born in a snowstorm and he is not deterred. So long underwear was pulled on, the snow pants and snow boots were found and the mittens, scarf and hat were located. A warm red coat covered it all.

We're pretty efficient at suiting up for winter, and he was out the door by 9:25. He'll be back in for a hot chocolate warm-up within the hour. I'll toss the snow clothes in the dryer then, so that they are warm and toasty for round II.

And all day long, we'll repeat this routine. The excited boy chatter, the big smile and the pink cheeks make it all worthwhile.
