Several times she declared that she was bored, and usually I would have found something for her to do, but not this time. I knew that despite my efforts, nothing I could ever come up with would be as good as feeling new snow crunch beneath your boots, or throwing the first snowball. At your oblivious parent. :O)
So here we are, trying to fill the day... but nothing is quite good enough to stay the snow bunny blues. I made us a typical snow day lunch of grilled Cheddar and provolone cheese sandwiches and chicken and stars soup. I had never actually made grilled cheese with real cheese before, usually I use the "sandwich" cheese variety. Anna had previously said that she hated grilled cheese, to which John and I guffawed.
"Bread, cheese and butter... what's not to like?"
She ate it all, which made me a proud mama.
After lunch I noticed that Anna had gotten a little ahead of me, decorating the tree. Even though the tree is up, we haven't gotten any further that the lights, ribbon, and a star. We plan to finish the tree this week end, and it's #1 on my list of things to get done before my surgery on Wednesday. ANYWAY, this is what I noticed as I walked into the living room...
and if you can't make it out...
Which makes realize why she had such a satisfied smile on her face. It wasn't the grilled cheese at all.

Oh yeah, now I can see. Is that a pine comb?
Hehe cute! We moved away from the snow this year, and the town we lived in was hit huge and the schools are out. My daughter is a little sad for missing the snow. I love looking at it, as long as I don't have to go out.
I love your "hair implements" theme on the tree! Maybe you should add a brush and some hairclips? LOL!
I give Anna so much credit for not sneaking out the door when you weren't looking! I know I would do it!
