I feel it necessary to share these snow day pictures from President’s Day last Monday, even though the amount of snow is minuscule compared to the 8 feet or so the East Coast has been dealing with over the past few weeks. It is the first notable snow of our entire winter, really. And even though the boys weren’t yet 100% after battling the stomach bug that ravaged our household from Thursday on through Saturday, they begged me to at least take advantage of our snow by sledding down our tiny front yard hill.
Poor Milo went down the hill once before retreating indoors to sit by the fire and read for the rest of the morning. He was really not feeling well, but what a trooper for trying. 
Oliver is such a great kid. I know I sometimes allude to hard times with his strong personality, but along with the tough times come the most amazing times, too. How his imagination is constantly blossoming with fantastic ideas and insights, how he loves a good hug more than anyone I’ve ever known, how he can be incredibly tender with his little brother, and how helpful he can be around the house (he’s into making beds recently) and in the kitchen baking. He has a gigantic heart and we all just love him so much. 
And then… Wednesday night, I got the lovely stomach bug myself. Voila! Looks like a 100% infection rate over here. Oh, well.
I hope you have a good weekend, whether you’re knee-deep in snow or huddled up inside. Happy Weekend!
We are indeed enjoying some crazy snow fall here but unfortunately with temps of -20F (VT) we are getting very little outdoor time. My boys are definitely feeling the cabin fever. I hope you’ve all recovered from the stomach bug and get to enjoy this weekend with lots of outdoor time. I know we will for sure!
That looks so awesome.
Here in Seattle the weather has been in mid- to high-50s for the past month+. The winter that wasn’t… Pretty crazy. Enjoy the white stuff!
