It have been a weird winter for snow...we had a good storm for Christmas and then almost nothing since. Despite the minimal snow, the kids actually had their first official snow day which was super ironic. During the first week of February there was a Monday where the forecast had called for blizzard like conditions with several feet of accumulation. When I woke that morning and headed to the gym, I was surprised to only see a skiff of snow. So I was pretty confused when I got a call from the school district announcing that school was closed for the day due to weather. We are still not quite sure who made that decision. The kids were excited for an unexpected holiday, but a little bummed that they couldn't go sledding or build any snowmen.
Luckily the kids got a "do-over" the next week when the long hoped for storm finally arrived. As soon as Luke and Ruby got home from school they put on their snow clothes and spent all afternoon outside building a giant fort. They were so proud and begged to spend the night outside. Most of the snow was gone by the next day, but the fort stuck around for a week or two.
The weird weather continued throughout February and the kids were never quite sure which season to expect. We had sunny days with snow on the ground, and warm days that looked super cold. This month we have definitely learned about layering our clothes, and being prepared for anything.
