slushing

Could yesterday's weather have been any more yucktastic!? We were out in it all day. We got to the train station in plenty of time, and the trains were really backed up because of the ice. The power was out (and thus the heat) in some of the cars, and the seats and aisles were full of glum people with wet shoes. Ellis was a trooper tromping through all that heavy wet snow.

He had a great appointment! (Read about it on Ellis Island) And then we began the meandering way home, by way of french fries and coffee (me)/chocolate milk (him). The thing is, though, every time I checked the train schedule, we had either just missed one or could catch the next one if we were a normal, walking adult. Since I have an inquisitive preschooler, I opted to take the next hour, which put us back even more, because we had to switch trains. Needless to say, we were all quite tired when we got home. Oh yea, and did Marlowe nap? no. Even though he was happily ensconced in the Beco all day.

But the slushy day was ameliorated by yummy soup and bread I made for dinner and the pleasant company of new friends from across the world. And we all went to bed with smiles.
