Gratitude Day #22: The Snow Edition

Today is a no-school day, topped with our first dusting of snow.

There are two new kids on the block, providing plenty of people to play with. Unless you're Theo, who is tortured by the fact that the two new kids are both in his class and they're both girls. Horror.

Ben, never one to look a gift horse in the mouth, has befriended the girls and is spending the day outside desperately trying to ski and snowboard through 1" of wet snow.

Theo is snuggled in on the couch, reading a book and eating mandarin oranges.

Sam is running from window to window wondering when someone is going to remember that he was made to play in the snow.

And the mom in the family? She's staying in her pajamas as long as she can, drinking french press coffee from her favorite mug, and enjoying the snow-coated trees from her bubbly storm windows.
