We woke up to big, fluffy flakes of snow falling gently to the ground. And staying there. Not melting as it reaches the ground. The snow is really beautiful. But, I'm not ready. The garage needs to be more organized. I really want to park my van in the garage this winter. The roads were very slick and I slid through a couple of intersections on our way to swimming this morning. The children are excited. Choruses of "Can we go sledding after lunch?", "It's it a SNOW day?", and "I get the good snow shovel!" could be heard throughout the morning.
When we returned from the library and swimming, Madelyn ran outside to shovel the snow. She managed to make our first snowman this year. Somehow, I just can't match their excitement. I must be getting old. Joe went outside after lunch to finish shoveling off the driveway. They are always so excited to shovel at the beginning of the snow season. By January the tune will definitely change. I need to enjoy this while I can.
