Despite the cold temps and the fact that I drove home from North Carolina in the snow storm that brought it, I love this snow and the joy it brings the children. I absolutely loved playing in the snow while I was growing up in Michigan, and I know how much my kids are delighted by it. It's fun that I can't buy at the store, it's exercise, it's not too dangerous, and it gets them out of the house. What mom could ask for anything better? Well, maybe something that didn't track so much water onto the kitchen floor and required a little less clothing. But really, can we get any better than free snow??? And around here, it comes infrequently enough that it always stirs excitement and anticipation. We all love it; we just don't love driving in it while it's coming down with 35 mph gusts and additional sleet. But that's over, and today was a beautiful day!
Katie Mei was totally unimpressed with the blowing wind and snow yesterday.
Loving this stuff!
Merrilee was the workhorse today.
Clobbered Merrilee with a snow ball!
