We woke up on Friday morning to a winter wonderland of sorts. It's amazing how snow can make my California boys instantly LOVE the cold weather. I think I even heard Talmage say that he loved winter, which kind of is the opposite of everything true in the world! But it was pretty fun to see nothing but white in this big ole city of ours, plus James got an early morning phone call from the court saying that the federal government was taking a snow day...um, yes please! He still had to work from home, but he took his lunch break in Central Park so that we could capitalize on this Herculean snow day. We were all ridiculously layered and it did us good--we played for almost an hour in zero degree weather without so much as a sniffle! Yes, zero degrees. Those are numbers I never, ever wanted to see on my weather app (and PS, never want to see again please) but boy, we made the most of that winter storm!
The first thing T did was fall into the snow and start making angels. Lots of them. Side by side there were rows of Talmangels!
He was so happy, and wanted to get in as much snow play as possible into what he knew would be a short romp in the park, due to, oh did I mention? ZERO degree weather. He was throwing snowballs, building snowmen, creating snow villages and making snow angels like a wild-man, always with a smile on his face.
Before long Daddy got in on the action and helped us build a family snowman. Which, by the way, was when we realized that none of us know how to build a snowman. It's kind of much harder than you'd think, right?
I think we did all right after all. The boys sure were happy and of course it was a Stanford snowman!
