Snow, snow, snow

Oh snow, how do I love thee?
Let me count the ways.

You make my children smile.


You give us 2 hour delays or school closings.


And that about wraps it up.

I guess the best thing I can say about this winter, at least the storms are small ones.


The snow has been light and fluffy, so I can push it and not really have to lift it.


But still...it is snow, not sand.


No sun on my face as I sit on the beach, no toes in warm water, watching the boys splash around.
Just cold, icey, white stuff all around.
It is pretty though.

I really wish winter was only one month in length.
I long for summer, I cant wait to shed the heavy coats, scarves, and gloves.
I can't wait to store the winter boots away and pull out the crocs and flip-flops.
But at least I received good news today, as Kevin finally broke down and bought a snow blower, just in time for the impending large storm due to arrive Tuesday.
I guess I can retire my shovel for now.
Oh snow, I dont really love you, but thanks for showing my kids a good time!
