Thursday’s YourShape: Fitness Evolved workout was replaced by a morning of shoveling and an afternoon of sledding thanks to 8 1/2 inches of heavy wet snow that blanketed the DC area on top of a nice coating of sleet. We woke up feeling fortunate for never having lost power like so many around us!
Little Miss Techie and Captain Computer have been hoping for a good snow storm and Wednesday’s did not disappoint.
That much snow provides a great workout! For 3 hours this afternoon the kids and a friend trekked up and down the infamous hill in the neighborhood.

See the teeny tiny figure not quite at the top? That’s Captain Computer! Notice 1) how large the hill is compared to him and 2) he’s not carrying his sled! |
They only stopped to make a friendly snowman to greet kids in case happened to be school today. But he’ll have to hang out until Monday because school is closed. Again.

Since school is closed again, we’ll be repeating yesterday’s events again today. Minus the shoveling, of course. Sorry, YourShape
! I’ll be back as soon as the snow fun ends!
