The Best Snow Day Ever

Major revelation today!!! It turns out, snow days don’t have to be stressful-frantic-blood-pressure-rising experiences! Today, we had the best snow day ever!!! It was awesome from beginning to end. There was one simple difference between this snow day and every other snow day: it wasn’t just the bambinos’ school that was closed, it was mama’s school that was closed too! In a shocking rare twist, Lehigh closed for a snow day. And the entire day was, thus, pure bliss! No kidding! Say it with me folks, ‘When the mama’s happy, everybody’s happy.”

It also helped that we were actually prepared this time. The forecast was giving every indication that we’d be snowed in for a couple of days. So Braydon ran out to the grocery store last night with a solid and well-planned list. We had everything we needed to make today run smoothly (which made a huge difference in the day). Bliss, I tell you! Pure snow day bliss! (Papi even surprised us all with cinnamon rolls this morning, which has got to be just about the very best way to start a snow day.)

Dinner had been crock-potting all day long (and it was so delish! one of Braydon’s favorites: beef stroganoff!)~

It was the best snow day ever. The end~
