My Favorite Things Monday (A Day Late)

I'm joining up with Abby over at graduate "extraordinaire" for a new thing - My Favorite Things Monday. You can read about it here.

My first entry is actually a day late but better late than never, right? :) My favorite thing about yesterday was that early in the day N got an e-mail saying that his company would be closed today due to impending bad weather. (Now, I need to say right here that we get a lot of "impending bad weather" that never actually comes to fruition. But lemme tell ya, this time they were not joking. I'll take and post some pics of the damage later but suffice it to say that right now we've got around 8 inches of snow, sustained winds of 30 mph, gusts up to more than 40 mph, and a wind chill that's below zero with blowing snow and no visibility.)

Back to my favorite thing though - that e-mail meant that we get a snow day with the Daddy! It's Milo's first snow and, as you can see below, he's mesmerized. Maybe in a couple of days it'll get warm enough that we can get out and get some pics of him in it but definitely not today or tomorrow (when the high is projected to be 13*). So today we are hunkered down trying to stay warm and just enjoying an unexpected day all together!

One other note. My sister already has some pics up over on her blog - they've got more snow there than we do here (she lives about an hour and a half away). It's impressive. Also, if you're needing a giggle (or a full out belly laugh) read through some of her other posts - she's a riot!
