Snow day

Last Friday, before Jordan got his fever, there was a snow day. This was the answer to Aaron's prayers -- he had literally prayed for snow on Thursday night, asking for all of us to be quiet while he did so, and Friday morning there it was, a couple inches, which is plenty for a Seattle kid to be thankful for. By 6:30am the kids were outside shouting with joy, sledding down our ramp and building a big snowman. 

However, by 9am there was NOTHING TO DO. Aaron was sobbing because Jordan wouldn't play outside with him anymore, and Jordan was as if dead from sheer ennui. 

I tried making them a list of snow day activities but they did not find it inspiring.
