Snow Day!

Yesterday, to my amazement, Kirkwood closed due to the 6 or so inches of snow that fell on Thursday overnight.  Brycen and I had a fun day together.  It started as I traced and cut out Batman and Superman designs for new capes.  Surprisingly, Brycen slept in until almost 7 o'clock.  It was so much fun starting off the morning playing puzzles and making a fort out of the dining room table while I attempted to sew a little. 

We then went outside around 10:30 to play in the snow and so I could scrape off the inch of snow that was on the driveway. We attempted to roll a snowman but the snow was too dry.  We ended up just packing the snow together in a big pile. 

College Community did not have school either so the neighbors, Brad and Sara, came outside to play and Brycen had so much fun playing with Sarah.  They pushed his little car around the house through the snow getting it stuck as much as possible.  Brad, Sarah and Brycen also got out the sleds and went down the small hill between our houses.  We were outside for over and hour and a half.  It was so nice... about 28 degrees, no wind and the sun was trying to shine. 

I finished his capes while he napped and we had a fun time in the house before eventually going out again when Burke came home from work a little early. 

For the first time, we actually were able to go out to eat at the Cedar Ridge Winery for supper.  We felt a little awkward taking a two year old to a winery but oh well. 

When we got home it was cuddling time on the couch while we read books and looked through his "I-spy" books, which he absolutely loves looking at.  We had such a good family time in that half hour before bedtime.  What a perfect ending to a great day!
