Yup, it snowed! It started right as we were sitting down for lunch, and hasn't stopped since. Our back yard has disappeared again, haha! After what has arguably been the mildest winter in many years (according to the people here), I've grown rather accustomed to looking out on our expanse of brown grass and bare trees. I won't lie, I am kind of excited for sledding again! Though I am also very ready for spring. Let's hope that this is the last real snow of the season! Fingers crossed!
Oh, and our lunchtime entertainment was provided by this little guy, who was scrambling around on the hillside just outside our dining room windows. He was getting snowed on, but it really looked like he was trying to find where he had hidden food. At any rate, the kids were highly entertained by his squirrelly antics.
And that was our day! We stayed in, since it was coming down pretty hard all afternoon. Nikos is on a puzzle kick right now, and actually did a pretty challenging one today on his first try! His ability to look at the piece and "see" where it fits into the picture is pretty impressive. But then again, he has always been SUPER observant. The kid doesn't miss a single detail, I tell ya! And Maya had fun cheering him on while hosting an indoor "picnic" for us (one of her favorite things to pretend).
It's supposed to continue snowing tonight and through the day tomorrow-- the updated forecast says we can expect a total of 8 to 12 inches by tomorrow night! Guess we will see if Nikos has preschool tomorrow or now... I am betting this will be his first-ever snow day!
