Snow Day

Yay! My prayers were heard!

Luckily, expectations for snow are low for kids who have grown up in Oklahoma. The quality and amount of snow we received this time weren't top grade or anything, but for Elina (who has told me repeatedly that she has prayed "in whispers that no one but [she] could hear" that we would have snow) this was a miracle. Isak had a fever and could not go out, but Elina and Sadie (and I confess, yours truly) played in the white stuff.

Sadie, who is 9 human years, acted like she was 9 months, max.
But then, she never really acts her age...

Anja looked on through the window and clearly wanted to go out too, but Mark would not allow it. ("She'll get pneumonia.") Never mind that I routinely walked to school in weather FAR colder as a kid, and then played for hours in it afterwards, until sometimes I could no longer feel my toes. I don't recall getting pneumonia a single time! :)
