Our first snow day together!

It's been a wild and snowy week! These pictures are "old," meaning, they are missing a lot of snow. I thought this was a lot of snow. NO WAY! You should see it now! And you will, soon. :-) Our first major snowstorm happened with the rest of the country, on Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011. In fact, our measly 14" didn't really compare to the amounts seen in the Midwest, especially Chicago which got over 20 inches! And Grammy Mary was out of school for THREE days because of the storm. WOW! Anyway, Tuesday night/Wednesday was a REALLY GREAT DAY in the Sorenson house. Dad knew he had a snow day as of the close of school on Tuesday, and Mom found out at 6:00 on Tuesday evening. Both were so excited to have a snow day! The last snow day we had was when I was pregnant for Will...and I think we only had one that winter. So, this was big news. (Although I have to wonder if Justin secretly wished Colchester wouldn't cancel school, which would have given him a day of freedom!) ;-) 

We didn't do a lot during our day of freedom...just lots of cozy time inside a a bit of time outside too...Justin and I each went cross-country skiing with friends and Will spent quality time in his snow fort with Daddy (see below). And Will tried hot cocoa for the first time. He's not a big fan...yet. It was a perfect day! And you really can't beat a snow day on Wednesday--a perfect mid-week break! Now I have the itch to have more, that's the problem!

Will absolutely LOVES being in the snow. He loves to "help" Daddy shovel and to play in the snow fort. This pile is twice as high now--I kid you not! We got an additional 11.5" last night!

Snug as a bug in a rug.

Sand toys make good snow toys too!

It was a dark and snowy day...
