Snow Much Fun!

Do you recall the moments of your childhood when you would go to bed and lie there hoping that when you would awaken from your slumber that the ground would be covered with soft downy snow crystals? Your heart and soul would pray that your parents would come to your room and tell you that school had been canceled and it was a snow day. Mom would pull out the big blue Tupperware bowl and place it on the old LTD Station Wagon and it would begin to collect the cold snowy crystals that would later be used to make the delicious snow cream that we would wait with anticipation to eat. Layer upon layer of clothing would be thrown on haphazardly, only to rush out the back door into the winter wonderland. "Keep your toboggan on!" my mom would yell. Oh, I remember the many times that I wanted to create the perfect "Frosty the Snowman", but I never seemed to have the right things to make him look like the one on TV. Most of the time I would just tire out and my Frosty would be one big blob of snow. Then, my brother would make his presence know by knocking down my beautiful creation. By that time, we were usually cold, tired, and in need of some warmth. We would pile into the house with our dripping clothes and strip down. Our toes were frozen and our cheeks were rosy, but we did not care. It was snow much fun! Today I had the joy of seeing my children hop out of their beds and rush to the windows in the same way that I had when I was a child. Caroline dropped to the ground, like she had seen on Barney, and began to make snow angels. Joshua, being the big brother that he is had to toss around a few snowballs that unfortunately made its way to his little sister. Baby Christian was just chillin' in the car seat watching intently at all that was taking place. It really was snow much fun!!! P.S. There is more to come on Sunday :-)
