Snow=Happiness

Angel in the snow

Catching snowflakes on your tongue, shooting downhill on a sled, dressing a newly built snowman, whirling snowballs at your siblings, and of course making snow angels; that is what snow means to a kid!  It is so wonderful that these kids rush to find their boots, snowbibs, hats, and gloves when they see a layer of snow on the ground.

When they start hating the snow...that will be a sad day! A sign of them growing up, losing that childhood wonder.  Until then, it is a joy to bring them lunch in paper bags and cocoa to drink outside in their snowforts and see their ruddy cheeks over cups of cocoa after they stumble in the door.  The last snow day they spent four hours sledding thanks to a perfect day for playing without any wind.
