SNOW!

Having kids really does bring back some of the joy that adulthood has stolen.  Mac has been waiting rather impatiently for snow he ‘can play in’.  The other day with our first dusting of snow,  I informed him that it still wasn’t enough to ‘play in’.  He replied with, “I see snow in that crack, Mom! See? We CAN play in it!”  Then today it finally happened.  Watching him traipse around in the snow, I was getting colder and colder.  The wind kept blowing my hair in my face as I was trying to shovel the driveway.  My gloves were wet, so I couldn’t push the hair back.  Too many miserable factors in there for me.  I was getting ready to announce five minutes and we’re headed in, when I saw his face.  He was so inquisitive.  What happens when I touch this?  What happens when I try to ride my bike (yes, he tried for the second year in a row!)?  Suddenly, I was transported back to a kid.  We got one snow a year and it was usually 1/2 inch total.  But we had FUN!  We were so cold and numb going in, but it was so worth it.

So, we stayed out a lot longer this morning. 🙂  See our fun.

Patrick wasn’t as sure about it.  He was also rather upset that his toys wouldn’t ‘work’ in the snow.  So his time outside was short lived.  But his first few minutes out there were cute.  Here he is venturing out.
