Break, break as my husband would say.  So many things floating through my head lately.  I have been reading like crazy and working on new (paleo/grain free/AIP) dishes and exploring our new area. We are buying an older home and are planning our projects.  Also have yet to tell you about the biggest, most embarassing fiasco that happened AFTER all the events in the other day's story.  Stay tuned for all that. But I digress to show you how we spent the day that was going to be a back-to-school day. : )  

SNOW!  

Surely the novelty has long worn off for east coast and midwestern friends and I do feel for you! Cold, icy snow is no fun.  Let me tell you though, that bright, sunny, warmish snow is a blast.  Especially when it melts the next day.  From a photographer's standpoint it was heaven after years in a dark, wet place. (which I loved too but is a challenge to shoot in!) 

The littles spent an entire morning making a snowman and pelting each other with snowballs. It was exactly what they needed.  We are still in that place where their nerves are a little raw and they are extra sensitive. Things that normally roll off your back tend to suddenly appear impossible to ignore and tears make a regular appearance.  Nothing better than to cut loose and run and play.  It's a simple cure for most of what ails a person.

Expect variations on this theme in the days to come. ; D  

"A snow day literally and figuratively falls from the sky – unbidden – and seems like a thing of wonder." 

– Susan Orlean

Wishing you days full of wonder whatever the weather.
