Snow, Snow, Snow

It's snowing! In Portland! Not unheard of, but still cause for celebration. Peter just texted me from Seattle, wondering if school has been canceled tomorrow. A bit premature, but I understand. In my youth, I always prayed for a snow day even though I was often disappointed. Ben is miserable with the flu and disappointed because he is missing the robotics tournament AND can't even go outside to play in the snow.

This confluence of events--an out-of-town robotics tournament, the Third Annual Cookie Exchange, and snow--has convinced me that this household needs another camera. Of course, the camera went with the boys to the robotics tournament, so Anna graciously agreed to take pictures at the cookie exchange. But snow! At Christmas! Such a photo opportunity, and me stuck with my cell phone camera. Completely inadequate. And now that I think about it, the camera was my Christmas present, although I always have to go hunting for it when I want to use it. Hmmmm ... maybe I'll send a last minute note to Santa.
