And So It Begins...

It snowed today. My kids wanted to go out and play in it. Contrary to my sometimes cranky and lazy parenting style, I got them ready and let them loose.

They loved it.


While watching them play, I felt sad for the time thinking of Henry going to all-day Kindergarten next year. We won't have days like this. Ruby won't have anyone crazy enough
(and old enough, Abram still won't count yet this time next year) to go out and play in the soggy snow with. It made me sad. And made my heart hurt a little to think this boy will spending so much time away from us next year ...



But he took serious advantage of it.


Do you think he's somehow aware of his limited stay-home-and-play-in-the-snow days?


As for this girl, once she managed to pull her attention away from her graham cracker (this girl is OBSESSED with food!) ...

... she got into it a little more ...

... and then sweet release!!!

If this doesn't brighten your day, I don't know what will...



(I think I love this so much because it seems like something my brothers would do.)
