I need my kids...

This past week it snowed for the first time this winter season. On Thursday, we woke up to the world carpeted in pure white.

My first reaction was to sigh and lament the extra work involved in scraping off the car and getting the kids dressed in their hats, mittens, snowpants, boots.

My kids, on the other hand, were so excited. They were outside playing in the snow at 7:45, shreiking with delight as they rolled around in, played with, and ate the snow.

I needed them to remind me of the magic and beauty in snow.
