We definitely saw plenty of snow on our trip to Canada this winter, but it’s always nice to have at least one snow day each year at home. By March, we’d figured our chances for a Charlotte snow day had passed. So, Ella, Jack, and I were pretty excited when enough snow to play in fell on March 12th. Yeah, you read that right—March 12th…in the southeast… Olive was pretty unsure about the snow at first—she doesn’t like to get her paws wet when she goes outside in general (insert eye roll emoji)—but as soon as we got the chuck-it and a tennis ball out, she was all in. Eventually we started throwing snowballs for her to fetch and she could not figure out where they went when they landed in the snow. Over and over again, she never caught on. Yes, we’re terrible people. And, as for Jonathan, he usually hops on the first flight out of town to his next work destination whenever snow is in the forecast. One year, I was trapped at home alone with the much-younger kids for a week!
