dirty

Every day, rain, snow or shine, I do my best to get the kids and myself out for fresh air and a dose of Vitamin D. I know I have said it before and all parents know how difficult it is to get kids dressed in the snowsuits, boots and mitts, but some days it takes me as long to get us dressed as the kids last out of doors. Not to mention what it does to my mental health. Lately I have a new adversary - dirty snow and the two little people who are obsessed with eating it.  It really grosses me out. Elliott will literally lie his face right down in the snow and eat from the beautiful, filthy buffet. I pretty much have had to give up for fear of looking like a crazy lady running from one to the other yelling and working to curb their efforts.

 Mmmm, let's stick right to the side of the driveway to get the choice snow.







So what is the moral of this story? It's all about spring and my longing for it. Not only would Spring result in a thawed front yard but it would give us a little variety in activity. We wander, we dig, we sled a little, we eat snow, we fight, we go in.

May the sun shine on - happy Tuesday. AJ and the Gremlins
