A surprise day at home with kids due to a School Snow Day...

PRICELESS!!!

Yesterday was my 4th...yes, 4th snow day this school year! I know that I complain most days about the weather in New York, but these are the days when I ask myself if there could be a better job? I love getting back in bed after beginning to prepare for a day at work, then waking up when Paige comes in, all to say, "Mommy's school is closed and I get to stay home today!" Her facial expression and pure joy make the dread of each work day go away for that moment!

I will leave you with a few of my favorite recent pictures...

The boy just can't get enough to eat!!

Building towers at the table has become a daily event...as long as she can fend off her brother for those she claims as "HER BLOCKS!"

They are finally starting to really have fun together...another PRICELESS reality! Paige is usually playing with me when Nate wakes up from his afternoon nap each day. As soon as she hears him start talking, she begs to go see him. Once we open the door, she ALWAYS wants to get in his crib and play. I just love that they are starting to create their own relationship and build memories!
