Slip slidin' away...

We had a SNOW DAY!  (Or a few flurries, coupled with a school closure, depending on your perspective).  The girls were very excited.  They grabbed their sleds and played in the snow for a whole seven minutes, before dashing inside for hot cocoa.

They weren't quite done with jumping or sliding around, however, so we headed to Pump It Up for a few hours.

Structure-loving Louise was happy to return to school after a five day holiday (teacher work days + a public holiday).  To our delight, though, she did fill several hours of the unwelcome leisure time with independent reading.
