Weekending it

This weekend was epic.  Over two feet of snow fell over our part of Brooklyn which resulted in a snow-day weekend! When I left for work this morning it was the first time I stepped outside of our apartment in over 62 hours.  That's right, more than two solid days of total laziness with absolutely no guilt about any of it.  Bliss, totally.

On Friday night I got home from work and arrived to pizza coming out of the oven.

Later I made chocolate chip cookies with half the batch omitting the chocolate chips, the way Dan likes them.

We stayed up way too late watching The Americans.

On Saturday morning we slept-in and woke up to lots of snow already on the ground and lots more as it fell throughout the day.  This was the view outside our bedroom, its the back of our apartment building. 

I made blueberry muffins and we snuggle in bed with muffins and Parks and Rec.

We eventually got around to get ready for the day but spent it inside admiring the snow, watching copious amounts of TV and playing games.

I made Terri Mom's Vegetable soup, with Dan's help.  And we added dumplings for the first time. 

We finished watching season three of The Americans and stayed up super late watching X-Men Days of Future Past with popcorn. 

On Sunday the snow was already beginning to melt.  Dan went to shovel at the church office but came back and we spent the morning with leftover muffins in bed and another X-men movie.

The afternoon saw coloring, gaming, watching the snow melt, and the football game.

We rented The Martian on Amazon prime that night and really enjoyed it.  By the end of Sunday night we felt totally relaxed and totally refreshed. 

Here's what made this weekend so great:
1) We don't have kids yet.  Being cooped-up inside for multiple days was not hard for us. We were not required to go outside for memory's sake or sanity's sake.
2) We love spending time together.  Maybe it's our love language I'm not sure we haven't read that book yet.  But anyways, we have yet to get tired of each other.  We just click in each others company.
3) We are introverts.  Not having to interact with lots of other people and be social for 48 hours was our jam.
4) Church was cancelled on Sunday.  A true Sabbath. We didn't have our typical responsibilities and we didn't have the guilt of finding others to fill-in for us.
5) We had absolutely no reason to be productive and that never happens.

Now you all know I'm a summer girl through and through but a snowed in weekend is pretty nice too.
