For days, St. Louis has been preparing for a winter storm today. It was all the talk around school and Facebook yesterday... will there be a snow day Thursday? The phone call came at 10:15pm Wednesday... NO SCHOOL!!! I am happy that they made the decision last night so that I wouldn't get a 5:30am wake up call this morning.
Of course as soon as the kids saw the snow, the first thing they wanted to do is sled. Ugh! Don't get me wrong, I love sledding - but the cold makes me miserable. You will never hear me complain about heat, even when it's hovering at 100, but frigid temps is another story. BUT I love to make my kids happy, and if they want to sled, then I will sacrifice my toes and go sledding!
My friend came over with her son and I bundled up the kids. We went to the local park with the big hills and it wasn't as crowded as it's been in the past. When we stepped out of the car I knew why... the cold wind took my breath away!
I soon forgot about the cold when I heard the squeals of delight coming from my kids:
We are back home in our warm house, and I'm happy that my workout was completed this morning, and now I'm free to cuddle up under the electric blanket and sip on some hot tea.
