Snow Day / Mar 3, 09:27 AM
Last Friday it snowed the first real snow! I woke up and when I opened the quiet room window I saw big flakes falling and the grass of our small back yard was already covered. I ran down stairs to look out the big windows. I went back upstairs to work on the computer but then decided I better go outside before it melted or turned into rain. So I put on a few layers and went in the back yard to make a snow angel. There’s not much room for anything else. So Seth got the camera and took a few pictures and then joined me. We walked around the front and saw two of our neighbors shoveling their sidewalk so we went to say hi. They were just getting ready to go take their dog to the park so they invited us. We drove to Clark Park and MeeLin gave us two big pieces of cardboard she brought in her truck. Allison, Seth and I went down the hill a few times and then we all watched the kids that were skipping school to play in the snow. When we got back to our block a couple kids were out and we started a snow ball fight in the street. It was so much fun to run around throwing and dodging snow. It was also great to combine a sabbath with neighborhood time. Just hanging out and having fun. After our fight Allison and MeeLin invited all of us to come back for dinner and a movie that night. So we went back and had spaghetti and watched “Once.” Even though we didn’t get an extra day off it was still one of the best snow days I’ve had since I was a kid. Actually it is really only the second snow day I’ve had since high school so it’s not hard for it to be one of the best!

First real snow at the end of February in Philly?! I’m really surprised! Wow… glad you enjoyed it though. :) We’ve been trying to enjoy a snowy Chicago winter… we were supposed to get probably our LAST snow for the winter this weekend but it never came… I was a bit disappointed.
Keep living in the moment!
