Wednesday, we were snowed in. I woke up to about eight inches and more was falling fast. We couldn't get out of our driveaway, schools all around us were cancelled, so we took a snow day (if you are/were a homeschooler, you will know the magnitude of this statement. I kid, I kid. Slightly. ;). After spending the morning in pajamas, I shoveled the driveaway (still in pajamas), had a five minute snowball fight (which resulted in getting hit in the face with a packed ball of fat water), and tried to regain feeling in my face and fingers.
Ignoring weather warnings, Hayley and I met for coffee in the afternoon, and we chatted for a couple hours over mochas long cooled. I might have also consumed half of a bar of dark chocolate. It's debatable. Later Ellie (check her out, give her a follow, and say hello! or just say, "wait, I blanked!" she'll get it) and I spent several hours skyping and laughing like crazy. Love both of those girls and so glad to have been able to talk!
(Oh, and random tidbit, but when I talk, I talk with my hands. I can't just say, "that's hilarious!" I have to make crazy hand gestures that are similar to a form of my own sign language. These girls talk with their hands too. So we get each other. It's like a prerequisite for friendships -- must talk with hands. Agaaaaain, I kid. ;)
Did you get hit with a blast of snow? Or is it spring where you live? And do you talk with your hands? If so, we should definitely be friends. ;)
I actually really wish it snowed at my house, but yesterday it was about 60 outside. Love the pictures!
ReplyDeleteYou had a snow day!? Whoa! Totally unheard of in the homeschooler world! hehe kidding. We haven't had a snow day all year. We've barely had 2 inches at one time all year. I'm excited for spring, but I'm disappointed with the "winter" we had. I wouldn't even call it winter, it was more like... the dead-slightly cold season.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I talk with my hands all. the. time. I guess that means... we... are... friends? Ah! :)
Glad you had a blast on your snow day!
okay. <3

Sunny with a high of 83 here in Florida! I definitely talk with my hands, body language helps convey what I'm saying that can't be explained with ((only)) words. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your genuine spirit! Great post...we got hit with rain, and hail, and lots of it!
ReplyDeleteI just realized that I never really comment on your blog. But I definitely read every post... so I'm stupid I guess. Love these pictures girl! Looks like so much fun.

ReplyDeleteLove these black and whites! and yes, we did get hit with a tiny bit of snow, and yes, I do talk with my hands! ;)
ReplyDeleteoh, we never get snow. i live in az. it feels quite like spring here already. your mom and brothers are so-super-cute. i love her t-shirt X) i tend to talk with my hands a lot, especially when i am really trying to make a point.

I miss snow. Lovely pictures!
ReplyDeleteso pretty, love! it was as warm as could be yesterday...it seems as winter skipped us over. and yes, dates with friends are the best. xx
ReplyDeleteDown in Alabama we don't get much snow. As a matter of fact we didn't get any at all this year, but I don't really mind (I'm such a wimp;). Always enjoy looking at your photos.:)
ReplyDeleteI talk with my hands. Want to be friends? pretty please? xo.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! I love every single one of your posts, Hannah! I wish it would snow here in California, haha. :) I talk with my hands too; let's definitely be friends! ;)

PS: I don't know if I ever mentioned this, but I'm in love with your blog design. You never fail to amaze me with your eye for beauty!
Lovely pictures! That last one is amazing!! We don't have snow...it's rainy and cold but no snow!
ReplyDeleteyou had snow; we had sunshine, people wearing shorts and sandals and tshirts.
ReplyDeleteI talk with my hands too! Haha, my mum keeps on telling me to stop talking with my hands when I'm driving....:D
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I always talk with my hands--and usually get teased about it lol. We haven't really had any snow at all where I come from. I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad about that haha. And as a homeschooler, I totally understand the magnitude of a snow day =D
ReplyDeleteOf topic, I stumbled upon this recipe while reading blogs today, and immediately thought of Sam. Thought you might be interested: http://mycharmingkids.net/2012/03/gluten-free-and-yummy-too/
ReplyDeleteWaaaaay down here on the Mississippi coast, the thermometer topped 80 degrees today. No joke! And I'm trying to figure out if I talk with my hands...I think I do when it's something I'm really excited about. :)
ReplyDeleteLoving that post... <3 I LOVE SNOW! :) 'Nough said. :]
ReplyDeleteSunny, 50* and windy here in AZ. :P Wishing for more snow! Send some over our way! ;]

haha, we got the total opposite of snow - it got close to 80 degrees today! but snow would've been cool, too :) gorgeous photos as always; I'm loving the black and white!
ReplyDeletei spent leap day cuddled up on the beach! spring day for me! love the snow, though :)
ReplyDeletexo
Love your photos. And can definitely appreciate your snow day fun. A day off school, a coffee date with a dear friend, and a skype date with a dear friend sounds so lovely.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I am one of those people that talks with their hands. I picked it up in speech class my freshmen year of high school and haven't stopped since. :) It makes conversations fun!
It's kinda in between spring and winter around here... it can't seem to make up it's mind. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I talk with my hands... and I talk A LOT. I'm a lot like my dad in that area. :D
Um I am slightly jealous! Really missing the snow :(
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures!

Lovely snow! We haven't gotten any more than a *light* dusting where I live, and even that was a while ago. But I've been loving these 75-degree-clear-sunny days. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I talk with my hands as well. :)

here´s finally sunny after so many freezing days. it´s warm and i love it. you almost don´t need a coat anymore (which is crazy cause just some days ago we were covered in thick woolen scarfs, hats, gloves, boots and all that jazz) and just feeling the sun rays on your face it´s a wonderful and so long missed feeling.
ReplyDeleteseems spring´s close!
anyway, they say it may snow again yet, and that´s cool, cause snow days are never enough for me! haha
you minnesotans are so lucky! ;)
have a nice weekend, Hannah!

It's been spring here! So bizarre as we almost always have snow now! It was soo warm yesterday, but they're called for snow tomorrow! crazy!
ReplyDeleteAhaha...your homeschooler jibe made me smile. ;) Love your peaceful b&w shots!
