Snow days...well, more like...Cold days.

While my family in friends in Illinois sent pictures and messages about the blizzard hitting them, I was both a bit sad not to see so much snow and grateful that I didn't need to shovel any of it.

They are on their 3rd snow day, with even Chicago Public Schools actually closing their doors (which is a HUGE deal).

We had 2 days off of school as well, but not because of snow. The temperatures were in the negative teens with wind chills in the negative thirties.

Dude, it was cold. Cold cold.

So, we bundled up and hung out.

We watched movies and colored and baked and read.
Of course, we also built things with legos. And by we, I mean Evan.
And even though we couldn't even open the door a crack without feeling like the wind was going to freeze our faces off, and even when the pipes froze and burst, and even though there didn't seem to be enough layers to keep me warm, the girls played so well together.
They played games and read and giggled. They barely bickered. They were sweet and kind. It was awesome.
I love them a little extra now.
