S is for...


Now I could be pretty lame and just go for SNOW...but we didn't want to disappoint.  But due to the immense amount of snow the kids are being exposed to for the first time we do have to use something snow related. 

After this last week of snow and sleet we have decided that we live in an area that very well deserves to have many different names for snow.  Snow, sleet, hail and so on and so forth.  In one day we had rain, snow...light fluffy to ginormous flakes...to sleet...deliciously wet trickle down your neck and freeze you stuff...

So the word for S is SNOWFLAKE....

Today in particular you almost feel like you live in a snow globe...there is another s word for you.  It has been coming down in delightfully fluffy stuff that is reminiscent of the scenes you get when you shake a snow globe up.  Crazy and beautiful to see indeed.

At one point I did worry though.  When you see what looks to be 2 inch snowflakes swarming down I think you are left with only two possible thoughts....

Oh, this is wonderful...we should go out and play in it!

OR

Oh, my gosh we're all going to die!  This is going to keep coming and we will be buried alive and die!


I guess there might be a third school of thought....curl up in front of a fire and read a good book...but my kids wouldn't go for it!
