First snow this winterSubmitted by Enelesn on Thu, 12/06/2007 - 11:29am.
I feel like such the Ebineezer! My son, who is now 3, absolutely LOVES the snow! As any kid does, but I absolutely detest it! Don't get me wrong, I love to look at it out the window of our heated home while drinking, hot cocoa, tea or coffee, but I am instantly shivered to the bone when I'm out there. I'm hoping daddy will take on much of the outdoor snow play - I'll take care of the indoor snuggling for them both i grew up in southern california and moved to the north east a while ago. it took me many winters to learn how to bundle myself up properly. there is nothing more important than a good coat and gloves! my girls are now old enough to keep their mittens on. they friggin love their snow suits. they want to be out playing on the "snow rocks" (the mountain the plow created) for hours. i cant blame them. it is pretty cool. now i just have to remember to keep myself warm. how about the 45 minutes it takes to get out the door these days! Is that all? J/K. I have trouble getting out the door on time all by myself. Then I had my son and it became a much longer ordeal. Add bundling up to the mix and I'm surprised we ever leave! |
i'm in love with teh idea of snow, and if i were the type to outsource shoveling and fuel costs weren't an issue for me, then i may actually love it, but i hate being cold. seems that this year i am so much mroe sensitive to it too. it's snowed a handful of times here already, which doesn't bode well for the season.
