Snow Day
Well, there they were. Perched in front of the television, like a couple of eager puppy dogs waiting for a treat. The three year old child could not read yet, so she kept asking her seven year old brother: “Is it our school yet?” “Not yet,” he would reply. As the school closings scrolled by slowly at the bottom of the screen, both children would start to bounce more and more with anticipation. Finally, with a scream of joy, both children yelled: “Snow Day!” All children love snow days, because no matter what the temperature is outside, there is always fun to be had.
The children asked mom what the temperature was like outside as they bounced around in excitement. Mom said: “It is cold and windy, so bundle up!” Bundle up they did!

After dressing up like it was an Antarctic expedition, the family headed for the great outdoors. As the front door opened, they were all hit with a blast of frigid air and blinded by a sea of pure white snow.

Sitting by the fireplace under a warm and heavy blanket, the children and their mom slowly thawed out. The long day outside had been a frosty, fun day. The children built the best snowman in their world, or so they thought. They got to sled down a huge hill while pretending to be race cars. The children also got to have a snowball battle with their mom. To top off the day, the children got to drink homemade hot chocolate by the fireplace with mom. Who could have thought that you could have so much fun on such a cold day?
