Snow, Snow and more Snow

Even though my hubby is probably going to disagree with everything I am about to write, I will do it anyway! I happen to love this weather, at least for the moment, as any type of weather for too long can become dreary. The first big snow storm of the season is fun, especially if you get to stay home, and I happen to be that fortunate! Grandma is generously picking up the oldest two from school, and since they have a half day I have a lot of fun plans ready for their arrival! Baking cookies and carving pumpkins and drinking apple cider, these are just some of the reasons I love snowy days. I love to climb under the covers with my kiddos and cuddle up to watch movies and eat popcorn. I enjoy how things seem to slow down for a bit as if the snow is a barrier to the rest of the world. I love how neat the trees and houses look with the coating of fresh snow. I also love the feeling of the holidays approaching. It is fun to watch the boys and Addy explore the outdoors as if the snow has transported them to another world. Then we have the pleasure of watching Apryl throw snowballs at Lexys head (because that is always the funniest spot to hit someone with a snowball) and then Alexys attack and body slam Apryl in a snow drift! I like to watch Matt shovel the wet, heavy snow while I am in the warm house! I make sure to write words of encouragement on the foggy window! I am so thoughtful! I really love the drivers who have probably lived here all their lives act as if they have never encountered snow before! That is always a mystery to me, I understand the car with the California license plates in the ditch, but the natives?? Drive carefully, and quit thinking four wheel drive works on ice! Can you feel the love?
