Valentine's day as a snow day

Well, we did get some snow and ice, and some areas of Baltimore had power outages. Not us. We had the equivalent of a giant unflavored icee all over our neighborhood. Not fun to play in, not fun to clean up. And not a snow day... at least for Dot! Jim did have the day off, and used most of it shoveling icy slush. He has a four-hour delay this morning.
We did celebrate Valentine's day with a nice dinner: crumbed green beans, crab cakes and popcorn shrimp, mashed potatoes, homemade wheat rolls, and fudgy cherry chocolate cake. The kids did not like the crab cakes, but did stuff themselves with the rolls. (Jim actually bought that potted mini rose plant for me - without being "reminded" - how romantic!)
After dinner we all rested on the couch bed and enjoyed Disney's Alice in Wonderland. I had just finished reading the book to Jamie at nap time, so I thought he would like to see the movie. It is now favorite!
