spreading the love

Do you remember when you were little and your parents would tell you, "Eat your peas, there are starving children in Ethiopia", or something like that. My kids can hardly believe that there are places without snow, but would like to move to said places as soon as possible to escape any more shoveling. Today we have no snow outside, just sunshine. I thought it might be nice to share all our snow with all of you in blog land that don't get any. So here are a few pictures from the last two weeks to cheer all you "non-snowy" bloggers (and probably make you even more glad that you don't get any snow).


I know it's a picture of shoes, but it's not just shoes. It's shoes on top of the snow instead of sinking down a few inches (like they should if it was JUST snow).
Here's where Chris learns that his mom has tricked him into shoveling ice, and not snow. After this the jig was up and he came inside.


I told you, before, that I like to measure snow by the back deck. This all appeared in a few short hours.

Okay this wasn't taken last week, but I had to throw a picture of the kids in the snow for good measure.

Sure, snow isn't all about the shoveling and the driving in there are lots of fun things you can do in the snow.

Like building a snowman.

It's obvious my kids haven't really gotten the idea, but I'm working on it.

You can go sledding.




If you're a curious cat you can sniff the snow.

I was so waiting for that bush to dump all it's snow on Jinx, but no such luck. What a lucky little kitty.

And, of course, you can just enjoy the snow. Often it really is very pretty to look at.
