I remember so well the first time the boys saw snow. We were driving to NY from FL and hit snow in Maryland. We pulled into an office building parking lot and I taught the boys how to make snowballs to throw at their dad. Good times. They were maybe 7ish at the time.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Red pandas in the snow. Possibly cuter than giant pandas.

I think ltc doesn't really remember the snow from last year. So, she was super excited this morning.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That is a good one!

In other news, my coworker is going out on maternity leave today, and when I was saying good-bye, she was like, "I've got a crappy year ahead of me, but I'll get through it, and eventually I'll get to go on business trips again." I love that she would say that out loud! Babies aren't super fun for everyone! Getting away from your family can feel like a vacation! (She has an older kid, so she knows what she's talking about.)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

SO TRUE.
Peanut's daycare is cancelled, so I called out of my work since M's in the middle of a sprinkler system upgrade at his, and I'm disappointed I won't be around adults all day. Also, they would have celebrated Peanut's birthday today at daycare, so now I have 2 dozen handmade cupcakes sitting around.

Ooh and it's the weekend so it's not like you can bring them in tomorrow. Doh!
I stayed awake way too late last night not realizing what time it was (not sure why I wasn't sleepy?) and then woke up with awful stupid pain (nerve pains to my toes—my whole foot and half my calf are still weirdly half-asleep feeling)

Ugh, juliana. What a pain. Happy Birthday Peanut! I wish we could have our day off together.

I'm sorry, Juliana. What a disappointment for Peanut. Too bad M couldn't bring the cupcakes to his work. I'm sure the guys doing the sprinkler system would gobble them down.
