Yep. You guessed it. Snow.
It's Nov 21, 2010 and there are little angelic kisses of love drifting down from the Heavens. Some would think that this is the worst thing possible. But in our house, it's the best thing to happen since, well, ever.
The weather reports were all starting to say the same thing. "The snow will hit south of Olympia, the mountains, and the peninsula." Leaving us in the "no snow" area. Yes, I will say I was disappointed. And just as I laid my head down last night, my last thoughts were, "Oh well, maybe next time."
However, at 8:20 this morning, I was awoken to shrilly little girly screams of excitement. JOYOUS excitement. ECSTATIC excitement. THRILLED beyond belief excitement. Yep, you guessed it. It was snowing. I was then being shaken by said child and forced from my nice warm snuggy bed. Okay, it didn't take MUCH force. We were jumping up and down and more excited than well, let's just say, we were really excited! The snow wasn't the big fluffly kind. More of the "get your microscope out" kind.
One child asked if we could have Christmas today. Then quickly changed her mind and asked if we could start decorating for Christmas. The other child seemed apathetic about the whole thing and was happy to play in it, but was the first one in and back in her jammies. Smart kid. It's cold out there.
About an hour later, it's a snow globe kind of snow and after playing in it and capturing the first snowtoshoot of the season, we're back inside playing, reading, watching tv, making chili, and of course, drinking some hot chocolate. Yeah. I love winter. The kids get out of the house, breathe some fresh air, and all is peaceful.
See, little angelic frozen kisses of love. Thank Heavens!
