S'no Motivation Like Snow

Maia Pie was reluctant to get out of bed this morning. I went in at five past eight (when we need to leave the house at twenty to nine) and tried to rouse her. She was not co-operative.

That is, until I told her that it was snowing outside...

Her eyes popped open and she bounded out of bed squealing. We opened the curtains and saw it was all nice and white and STILL SNOWING!

Breakfast was porridge (to have lots of energy for playing in the snow) and she and Noonah got dressed in record time.

On the way to school she caught snowflakes on her tongue, and marvelled at the scrunching sound under her New Waterproof-and-Snowproof Boots.

I am going to make her some fairy cakes dusted with icing sugar snow for a home time treat. All in all, we think snow is pretty cool.
