Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Winter?

I have to admit, I am just like a kid when it comes to days like today. The anticipation of a complete slow down of the hustle bustle of the work week due to weather conditions was something that really made me smile when I saw the forecast last night. I woke up a little later than usual this morning, snuggled under those warm covers, and with joy dozed back off for an extra hour of sleep.

I have fond memories when I was young of the anticipation of a snowfall that would delay or cancel school. It was a day of sled riding, movies, hot chocolate and afternoon laziness. I appreciated the opportunity to relive that today as Schnookie and I cautiously weathered the driveway to get the newspaper. I tromped through the snow while his 7lb weight allowed him to skate across the top. It was great fun for my boy Schnookie and I to be out playing in the snow. Both of my kids are home today too, so I am thinking about how we can make memories for them of the lazy, hazy, crazy days of winter.
