Snow

We got our first snow of the season last night or early this morning. When I woke up and looked out the window and saw the white stuff sprinkled all ove the ground I was not happy. I have decided that I don't really like the snow. I hate driving in the snow, I hate trying to find a parking spot or going to the store in the snow, I hate being cold, and it always seems like it is around way too long. So I am excited about the holidays coming up, being able to be with family and friends. So I have learned to live with the weather knowing that it is a marker for good things to come. Parker was excited when he saw the snow he looked out the window and said "snowman". He was ready right there and then to go outside and build snowman. I told him that when there was enough snow we would build him a snowman. When he gets so excited about things like that it makes me pause for a moment and think about the simple joys in life. The excitement of a youg child is contagious and I know changes is good so I will be mentally preparing for the changing of seasons and digging out our winter clothes so we can stay warm. On a side note, Paige turns 6 months tomorrow. I can't believe she is half a year old. She is getting her first tooth on the bottom and has been a little cranky. She was a momma's girl before, but now she won't even let someone look at her without tearing up. I can't wait until that stage is over and she will let someone else hold her for a change. I promise some picture to come when we start doing something interesting in our family, maybe Halloweeen, it seems like that is the next fun thing coming up. Happy Saturday. I am going to go curl up with some hot chocolate and a blanket to stay warm.
