Wait.
Are you ready?
This miserable system moved in bringing snow, and wind, and making roads treacherous. They were crushed. I was crushed.
This out first real snowfall of the wintry season.
Why today Mother Nature??
Some cried. I wanted to too. Instead I smiled and said, "We still can have a great day!"
We bundled up in snow pants, and hats and mitts, warm fuzzy boats, and scarves wrapped around faces. The baby pointing at the door after the big kids were out trying to tell me to hurry. My beautiful growing little soul. You can see so much in her eyes. She is always pointing and grunting, and her eyes get bigger when she is trying to tell you something important. O Sweet Klara, start talking, and tell me all those things you want to say!
A walk, and some shoveling, and helping the neighbor as well, bonded us, lifted our spirits, and an hour and a half later when we entered the house stomping, laughing, talking and smiling. O except that wee one, who so badly wanted to stay out and color with chalk.....because that is what everyone wants to do when its snowing...??
A warm hearty lunch, and they were busy crafting. Cutting, gluing, and drawing......Valentines!! Talking together, helping, giggling and laughing. Is there anything sweeter then the laughter of children?
I hope your Thursday turned out as great as ours!!

You captured the wonderous winter moment with your little ones. When they are older then will have such wonderful tactile memories to look back to.
