Snow Day!

So far so good with my resolution...3 posts in Jan so far! :)

I had to post today because it was a very exciting day around here...Snow! Not quite the amount of snow that they had built it up to be, but there was enough of it and it was cold enough to freeze up the roads around here and shut down all of the schools. So, I had a fun day of working from home while keeping Nate entertained - not an easy task.

It was way too cold to get out this morning (18 degrees - wind chill was closer to zero) to check it out so we ventured out around lunch time (mainly for the photo op) when it had climbed all the way up to 20 degrees. I was pretty much ready to go immediately back inside the warm house but Nate strolled around the house to the backyard and found his trucks he had left in his sandbox back when it was warm and he just started playing. And apparently the cold wasn't effecting him like it was me because I couldn't get him to go back inside!

Oh yeah...guess who else had fun playing in the snow?

I know ya'll will think all we do is sit around and watch kids' movies after I say this (I swear we don't) but "Up" just happened to come in the mail from Netflix today...so, of course we watched it tonight since the cold has us couped up in the house. I thought it was the saddest and sweetest movie I have seen in a really long time. I can admit that I cried for the 1st 20 mins (full on tears) - and I don't cry at movies very often...maybe it is just all of these pregnancy hormones but I thought it was very touching, especially for a Pixar movie. Maybe I will just start doing movie reviews on each posting... :)
