snow day!

on saturday, robin (my husband) and i decided to spend some time outside to enjoy the snow. we got all bundled up like when we were kids and headed out. it was so much fun... we had a snowball fight, made up a new game ("snowling" - bowling with snow balls and snow pins), and made a teeny tiny snowman. i just love simple things like this that let you forget about everything and act like a little kid again... we're back to being adults again, but it was good to take a little break :)

look what i woke up to today...

snow! and lots of it. you probably can't tell from the picture, but there is about 5 or 6 inches on the ground, and it is still coming down like crazy.

this being my first winter in new england, i was expecting a very snowy winter. much to my dismay, we haven't really had any really good storms yet. it seems like every time they call for a ton of snow, we have some flurries overnight and i wake up to barely an inch on the ground. but not today... today is a real new england snow day!

days like these make me want to just curl up on the couch under a big fluffy blanket with a hot cup of tea (my choice: mojito from tea noir) and read a good book all day. they also make me wish i had a fireplace. and a kitty to snuggle up with. but i suppose the hot tea and good book will have to do for now.

p.s. i feel like having something hot, tasty, and hearty for dinner tonight. any suggestions for great meals on a snowy winter's day?
