The big, record-setting snowstorms have mostly passed us by this year. This resulted in tears from David, who felt utterly left out of history-in-the-making, and sighs of relief from me. As much as I love snow and don't mind the cold, I've grown impatient with winter. Most of all, I think I'm tired of snow pants and gloves and boots and wet socks all over the house. I think I might be ready for some of that California sunshine!
Fortunately for my desert-bound kids, Mother Nature has given us a bit of snow and even a few snow days this winter. . .
I need to pause and comment on how much David loves shoveling the driveway. It's awesome! He can't wait to get out there and work hard, and he feels a sense of accomplishment when it's finished. Greg hasn't had to shovel the driveway once this year. (Me neither.) And the girls like to get in on the action too by shoveling the sidewalks.
In conclusion, snow is fun, and Sara has the best brother and sister ever in the whole universe. The snow may not go with her to the desert but David and Mary will.
