All said and done, we got about 20″ of snow.

And the kids were pretty confident that they’d have another snow day today.

They’re clearly not used to living this far north.

The storm was over. The roads were plowed.

Back to a typical New England winter, 20″ of snow later. Needless to say, the kiddos were pretty bummed. They’d have certainly preferred to be gearing up to go out and play in the snow.

Not wait on the bus. And how did I take the news that there would, in fact, be school today?

Let’s just say, I am managing my grief pretty well. It was a positively glorious morning, though.

And once we were outside and surveying the winter wonderland around us, it was pretty hard not to smile. Just a very quick survey, though.

Deposited kiddos on the bus.

Then Jude and I hustled back inside. And no, Vivienne did not want to come outside to play today.

Hopefully by spring…
