Snow Day, Sick Day

This past week has been a fun, crazy, week..My 26th birthday was on Tuesday, and I was thoroughly spoiled by my husband and family, including sticky buns for breakfast, chimichangas for dinner, and pecan pie for my "cake". Gotta love having a husband and mom who are both great cooks! Adam got me a very cool lens (he spoils me...it's a Af-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4g, for those of you who know or care...) and just generally always does what he can to surprise and celebrate me...dinner with the whole family and games made it a great day. And it started to snow!!
Early Wednesday morning, while the snow was still pretty easy to navigateI've always wanted it to snow on my birthday, but generally it waits to Halloween. So I enjoyed my little birthday present from God--which turned into a massive snowstorm and 2 snowdays for everyone but CSU up here! we got at least 2 feet of snow...when Pax was tromping through the snow Tuesday afternoon, it came up to the bottom of his coat-and kept falling all night. So fun!! He LOVED the snow, loved catching snowflakes on his tounge and making snowballs to throw, and just generally had a blast! Yesterday afternoon, however, he came down with a nasty cough, so our plans to trick-or-treat downtown this morning with some other moms + kiddos were cancelled. Bummer. Mama's going a little stir crazy, but coughs and 20 degree weather just don't mix,...so we went to get coffee. Adam's first class got canceled, so he came with us for a nice, snowy morning treat. Now we're home, watching Veggie Tales...I know my kid feels junky when he doesn't even want to play with his trains. Poor buddy...he sounds like a very congested, barking seal. Ahh, the beginning of cold season! Hopefully he'll be up to a bit of trick-or -treating tommorow night!
