Snow Day!!

    I like that today is a snow day so much. Recently, it seems like every weekend is too short. A surprise bonus day is great for lots of things. So far today, I've gotten to sleep in, go sledding, clean up some stuff in my room, and finish some homework I was putting off (due to the fact that the snow day was announced last night, I stopped working on the homework I had left to do).

    I have decided to get rid of approximately twenty books from my bookshelf: mostly novels for elementary or middle schoolers. I haven't touched the majority of these books in years, so they're just collecting dust on the shelf. In addition, I have cleared off my desk so that everything is in three piles. The first pile is information I want to keep for future reference on the top of the pile, and drawings my brothers have made for me on the bottom. The second pile is bank statements and paychecks I need to deal with, and the third pile is a stack of reading material: a Valley News article my mom saved for me, a National Geographic issue concerned with criminal detectives, and two Shel Silverstein poetry books. Of these two books that I've had for forever, I am going to decide to get rid of one.

    My three little brothers and I went outside to go sledding for about 45 minutes. We had several "trails" to go down and three of us made small jumps on one trail. We brought six sleds onto the hill behind our house: four foam sleds and two plastic sleds. The foam sleds we used are a small white foam sled, a small blue foam one, a large blue one (all of which are rectangular-ish); and a blue circular foam sled. Finally, there was a small red cicle sled with an oddly-shaped handle for the rider to hold onto and an elliptical orange sled made of plastic. All of them except the red chunk of plastic. Later, I will rejoin my brothers to continue enjoying the fluffy snow.
