The kids came home from school and I said, "Kids take off your back packs, put on your snow pants, hats and gloves we're going out to play in the snow today. No homework or having to practice piano today. It's playtime!" I think they were all wondering what I had done with their mother. We had a great time and I'm so glad we went out when we did, because just as we finished it began to rain and melt and that has been our only snow of the season.
