sNOw-my-goodness 2011

For the second time this winter the 704 got a good snowfall.  It started during the early morning hours and snowed pretty much through the afternoon.  In the morning the street kids met up in Ms. Kristi’s driveway to do a little sledding.  It took a 20 minute argument with tears, wailing, yelling, and the bribe of hot cocoa afterward in order to get Emilia to put on her snowpants and join her friends.  Clearly, she’s not a snow bunny, but a beach bum like her Mama.  Can’t say that I blame her.  In the end she played outside for an hour.  The boys stayed cozy and warm in the house with A in front of the fireplace.

emilia refused to sled down the hill, instead preferring to dig in the snow (as if it was sand).
