Thoughts on Snow

I hate snow. I always have. I live for flip flops and 100 degree weather just doesn't faze me. But snow makes me grumpy. When my friend Bonnie called me at 9:45 in the morning to see if I wanted to take the kids sledding, I was hesitant and almost called to cancel a few times, but I'm so glad we went. It was a BLAST! Now this may look like a winter wonderland, but we are actually right here in Emmett at the Island. Yup. The island. There is one hill there that is absolutely perfect for 2 and 4 year olds. And, although it isn't that big of a hill, it was still quite the work out pulling sledloads of kids to the top. Because another thing about 2 and 4 year olds is that they just don't work very hard for the satisfaction of life. Instead, Mom pulls them to the top and sends them squealing back down again, only to turn around and do it again. Can you imagine what life must be like when you are that age? How exciting it must be to go down a teeny tiny hill like the one at the Island? I wish I were that excited about anything in my life today.

Tucker hates snow. He probably got that from me. So he cried when I put his coat on. He cried when I put his hat on. Again with the gloves. And again when I put him on the darn sled. But, he finally realized, like his Mom, that the snow was here so he might as well make the best of it. Here he is making the best of this situation.



And here is my little Snow Bunny, Cameron. Obviously not affected by the cold at all. Always one to enjoy every aspect of life.

Tucker deciding if Cayden can do it, then he can too....and he almost cracked a smile. Do you like how red his poor fingers are because he refuses to wear gloves? No wonder he's grouchy!


The three stooges: Mary, Cailey, and Cameron.


Can you just imagine these three in high school? Their poor fathers.....


I just got back from Story Time at the library with Tucker. It was his first time and he did great! I was worried about his attention span, but he sat through three books on his carpet square and did the finger play song like a champ! It's hard to believe that he is technically old enough for 3-Year old Preschool this coming fall. I am trying to get him used to the school setting incase we decide to go that route. He's so shy, at this point I'm not sure he'll be ready, but he enjoyed it today! Cameron went back to preschool (praise God) so she is back to the grind and seemed to enjoy her day. Checked our numbers at Bi-Mart (got nothing) and now we are home for lunch and rests. Cameron has ballet this afternoon. Thanks to my huge Fiesta Bowl dinner production last night and lasagna the night before, I am free and easy on dinner tonight, so I think I will kick back and enjoy my magazines and TV this evening. I might even scrapbook. Thank goodness for leftovers!
