We had snow this week, a lot! Steven was so excited. Starting Sunday night Dan and Steven were out in
the snow. It was so beautiful. Monday morning brought about 9" at our house. I was content to stay inside, bake, clean or watch a movie. Steven on the other hand had a different idea. He was outside as soon as the sun was up. Not sure what he was doing but I was sure he was having a good time. I on the other hand decided I wanted to grocery shopping. I love to drive in the snow. After taking a hour to unfreeze the doors and clear the snow I was on my merry way. Steven declined to come, he was happy in his winter wonderland. No one was at Wal-mart so I completed my shopping in record time. As I was finishing checking out it occurred to me that I had to money, checks or cards to pay with. You know that look you get when people t
ell that to the cashier, it was etched well in my mind as I said goodbye to the greeter and made the 20 minute drive home. What was normally a 8 minute drive took 20. I did marvel at the beauty of the country side,as I crawled along. I returned, humbly purchased by groceries and returned home. Thinking I could kick my feet up and enjoy a stocked kitchen and a warm cup of pero I proceeded to put on my fuzzy slippers. When to my dismay, Steven, yet again came in covered from head to toe in snow. He begged me to come outside with him. I relented and I'm glad I did. We had a great time. He took me down through the woods and up through the pastures, the whole time trying to pelt me with snowballs. I tackled him, he tackled me. I got wet, nasty and cold, but I really didn't notice because I was having fun. I was playing! We built snowmen, and destroyed them. We tried to slide down the hill. We had a great time. Over the next two days we played a lot. It was fun. When asked what I did for my two days off, I answer, " I played in the snow w
ith my son and loved every minute." They think I'm crazy. Oh well.
