We just had a weekend of beautiful weather - a teaser for the hopes of Spring. Today we woke up to a little snow. Maybe an inch. The school district must have wanted an extra day off, because they cancelled school. It was ok by me to have a lazy morning and not have to rush out to meet the bus. We made the best of the day starting with a yummy breakfast!
Chocolate Chip muffins from scratch! And they were YUMMY! I saw this recipe in a Taste of Home cookbook I have and wanted to try it. Perfect day to do so. I put the recipe at the end of this post. It's easy and good! After breakfast we geared up and met our neighbor friends outside for some fun. Even though there was only an inch, it made for good sledding fun on the golf course near our house!
We had to take the swords with us to the hills!

Even little C with his friend, Chase, joined in on the sledding fun. What you can't see in this picture is the huge smile that went across C's face as he went down the hill!

W even tried out the snow scooter! It's like a snowboard with a handle. Awesome!
