There's a white blanket coating the world outside. The kids drank hot chocolate yesterday after bundling up twice to play in the snow. Boots, hats, coats zippered, ski gloves carefully layered over sleeves; I watched them from the window. Robert, 10, led the charge through the snow as they rolled a snowman (well the girls Kelly 9 and Melanie almost 7 insisted snowwoman) and tied a scarf around its head.
I love snow. It's an excuse not to do anything; to hang back, play and just be. Spring is around the corner, and although I can't wait for those first daffodils (and later my blue hydrangeas) to bloom, spring in our house is a crazy time with three different kids and various sports.
So for now, enjoy the snow.
