+ Snow Day! +

Schools were closed for the second day in a row for unseasonably cold and snowy weather. Since our city has little or no snow removal equipment, we spent the day close to home. Here are the boys doing "work" at the breakfast table this morning:

And here is Brett pulling Larson in a vintage Sno-Tube. This gave Brett yet another occasion to gloat about keeping every piece of sports/recreational equipment he's owned since 1985. I'm still waiting for those first-edition roller-blades to come in handy...
Needless to say, Larson got a kick out of riding around on it and joining all the other kids in our neighborhood at the park for a slide down the hill. Yes, those are rain boots on his feet, but who would have thought we were going to need the other kind this winter?
Cora all bundled up for a walk in the snow:

It was a hot-chocolate-making, Christmas-cookie-baking, extra-book-reading, rosy-cheeked kind of day.
