just one good snow day, and making cookies

So last Thursday was a snow day for every school in about a 100 mile radius. Ahh, to be a kid again, eagerly listening to the radio in the wee hours, hoping, just hoping that your school's name would be on the list. Snow days were good days for me when I was young. It usually meant hours playing outside with my dog and my sled, only coming in when my face was nearing frostbite conditions. Unfortunately, last week's snow day was simply too cold to enjoy (a -20 windchill isn't much fun) and the kids and I stayed inside.


Friday we were all home also - a scheduled teacher's convention day. My son helped me make chocolate chip cookies. The good kind my mom and I used to bake together. It felt good to be carrying on that tradition.


Friday night was a real treat too because my fiance took us all to Red Lobster. My son shares my love for crab legs so we both had those. My daughter's favorite meal at Red Lobster? Macaroni and cheese! Go figure.
