So I missed week 5. I was too sick. But that only made me more excited about week 6.
The day before the sickness storm hit, the most beautiful Nor'Easter storm hit. Like the true southerners that I'm finally able to admit that we are, we get giddy at a light dusting. So to experience true snow, the kind that you sink into as you walk, the kind that penetrates our sad southerner clothing within seconds, the kind that you can actually enjoy with a proper sled (or cookie sheet in a pinch)... well, it made my family very happy.
After some sledding (and slipping around in our treadless shoes), we came indoors and drank cocoa and played with toys and decorated cardboard boxes from the inside out. I'm so grateful we had a chance to experience it. (And I'm equally grateful to have come home to 70 degree weather.)
I sure miss that snowy backdrop.

I wish we had one good snow storm a year. Just one. My boys love it so. And I know exactly what you mean about the clothes. Its called layers. Now when I go home to Minnesota, my peeps laugh at me in my layers upon mis-matched goofy layers.
you're way too funny to not be updating your blog ALL the time.
I wish I lived somewhere that it snowed! This pic really makes me feel all warm and fuzzy... childhood bliss I love it xx
Sarah, you an tell the difference from a Northerner and Southerner in snow based on how padded vs aerodynamic they look. I was amazed by my friends' clothing- so thin looking! Yet warm? And dry? Like a modern marvel! I look like an unshaved sheep.
Says the one with the amazing blog, Ryan! Have I told you that I'm excited about the new one? Have I told you that I really hope you give us at least a FEW words?
Leah, me too. I don't think I can handle 5-6 months of that kind of snow, but it is such a beautiful backdrop. And I love how people from NY barely bat an eye at it. It's not nearly the big deal that I make it out to be. :)
