Snow Days, or How I Grew to Appreciate Electricity...

William bonding with the spider...

Checking out the butterflies...



A very snowy capitol...












Eating snow...He always looks so serious while doing it!

Wednesday night it started snowing, and it snowed and snowed. Jason has a 3 mile commute. It took him about an hour to get home. The roads were a mess, and then as the evening went on it became clear that we were at a very real risk of losing power. Then right after Jon Stewart, it went out for real. It stayed pretty warm in the house, thankfully, but it is always weird not having any light. We put William to bed by lantern light and then Jason and I played a good game of scrabble. I was hoping that it would be fixed by morning, but it wasn't. We went to Panera for breakfast and then William and I went on the Metro to DC so we could spend the day in a warm museum rather than a chilly house. When we got home the heat was on and all was well again. William has been having a ball playing in all this snow. We did a little sledding, but mainly he just enjoys eating it. I think we have about 8 inches in our neighborhood, and we are supposed to get more this weekend....
