This is a picture of the egg and dairy case at our local supermarket the night before the big storm. I was walking through the aisles thinking that this could make for an interesting study of what Americans feel they cannot live without: Milk, eggs and bread (strata anyone?), but also bacon, bananas, and Kraft mac n cheese. Plenty of vegetarian fare still available. The snow started Sunday morning...beautiful, fluffy and perfect for snowman building and snowball fighting. As we shoveled the driveway, we piled it all into one spot so the kids could sled down our already inclined front yard. It made a pretty impressive hill that shot them down along the driveway, past the mailbox and into the street. The pictures just don't do it justice! Then our down-the-street cousins creeped on over to try it out. Our neighbors kept peering through the window to see what crazy people were having a party on their front lawn in the middle of a blizzard. The next day was a snow day. And the next day. And the next day. And that's pretty much when the party ended for old mom. Two weeks of Christmas break followed by 5 consecutive snow days. By the end of it I was afraid someone was going to get hurt. And by "hurt" I do mean intentional violence inflicted by parent onto bored, whining, bickering, cooped-up kid.
