Over So Soon

On Saturday I wrote about the temporary reprieve we had from winter, although I was secretly hoping it wasn't going to be temporary.  I say secretly because only a fool would allow herself to believe that Spring could possibly arrive in February.  In my defense, we had a long stretch of days with temperatures above 50.  As a matter of fact, just yesterday the girls were outside doing this

Writing stories in the fresh air.

This picture depicts Audrey being attacked by a "fluffy thing".  Once she realized it wasn't a bug, she enjoyed chasing it as it bounced around through the wind.

Today, however, there was no chalking on the driveway or the chasing of fluffy things because it looks like this

My snow covered boot.

This is Steven just moments after arriving home from work.  A longer than normal drive home from work, I might add. 

He was not overly thrilled that I was taking his picture (but doesn't he look cute in that hat??). 

And there is something about a cold, snowy evening that makes us feel closer to people that maybe we ordinarily would not feel so close too.

Snuggly, in fact.

And on that note, I will call it a night.  I have stayed up late hoping to get a call saying that school is canceled tomorrow, but alas, I have waited in vain.  I just really wanted to sleep in, but Saturday is just around the corner.
