Maumau came over on Saturday, hoping for a promised snowstorm. But no snow was forthcoming despite the fact that she brought snow clothes and even stayed the night. (Or maybe no snow was forthcoming because she brought snow clothes and was prepared to spend the night…hmmm)
Owen loved that he and she both have fur on their coats, and made me take a photo, which cracks me up.
We hung out on Saturday evening, and finally took the boys to the open gymnastics session at the gym when we realized the snow was obviously going to stay away.
Still no snow overnight! We bided our time hanging out, making a special breakfast including making great-grandma’s homemade applesauce, Dutch Babies, and lattes. (I was impressed with Jack, who peeled a whole apple by himself - He has so much more patience when he is cooking)
The boys were pining for snow, and the forecast promised several days of it, but since Maumau wasn’t already stuck, it made more sense for her to try to make it to work on Monday from her own house rather than from our house on a high hill…too bad.
We consoled ourselves (that she was about to leave) by drinking Maumau’s special hot chocolate, and playing yahtzee and bingo.
After Maumau left, the monkeys and I headed down to the library. Apparently the snow got the message that someone was supposed to get stuck, but it got confused on the ‘who’ part…
An hour at the library brought several inches of snow to the community. The clear roads and lawn were now covered with several inches of snow! Luckily we made it back up the hill and into the safety of the garage. Then the boys played for almost two hours building and destroying snow forts.
