Snow Day

[I started this post 2 days ago and never finished it.  Our snow day was Friday and today is Sunday, but better late than never!]

Today we had our 3rd snow day of the season!  Of course everyday could very well be a snow day for me since I stay at home, but it's nice to have Jason home with us!  I've always loved productive days, but they're even more substantial (and less) with a crawling, 8 month old (YES, today Ava is 8 months old!!) baby.  Today, I've been able to clean most of the house, run errands (alone) for an hour 1/2, do some laundry, and bake several things for guests we're having over tonight.  Definitely wouldn't have been able to do all that as quickly as I did if Jason weren't home.  He's pretty much been on baby duty most of the day (minus laying her down for 2 naps and feeding her) and to that he told me, "I don't know how you do it."  WELL, I hear all the time that being a mom is the hardest job, and while it's not always easy, I wouldn't trade being at home with her for a 6 figure job.  Being with her all day, everyday, makes everyday fun, tiring, memorable, precious, etc, etc.  I don't know how long this season of my life will remain the way it is, but for now I'm loving EVERY moment (especially the snow days!).
