Drudgery or Delight?

Depends who you ask. The boys have been in a snow daze since Sunday. Nolan mentioned that he just saw sleds in his mind when he closed his eyes and even his blanket felt like a sled; this was on Sunday after sledding all day long. Ethan woke up this morning and said that he dreamed that all that snow was gone, this was met with a gasp of horror from the other two. There was great disappointment this morning as Christian felt cheated by the forecast and school was on, with a 2hr delay. As soon as he left for school, it came down in big flakes. It was very hard for Nolan and Ethan to concentrate in their school work. After an hour of trying to get their focus I gave up and out they went, not be seen for hours. The neighbor kids were picked up early from school and the party was on! It's dark now but they are still out there. You will probably not get this excitement from whoever had to be on the road today, but in this household, snow means delight! I just hope Shawn will make it safely home, he would probably call it drudgery today.
