The wonder of it all.....

So look at this face... all excited about going out into the snow... the first REAL snow of the season... could that smile get any bigger???


Maybe so! Michael was just too excited to get out and enjoy the day....

He even convinced Daddy to go out with him.... okay... Daddy was gonna shovel the drive.... but he still got whacked pretty handily with a snowball!

But... after all the preparation to go out... he lasted around 15 minutes. He came in with his little fingers freezing, and asking to just stay inside! Maybe he should have taken a cue from Carly....

Doesn't get much warmer than playing a few games of Guitar Hero to pass the time....

This morning I wondered how I ever thought that snow was a good thing as a child... then I was reminded... it meant NO SCHOOL!!! And while I might not have liked to play in the snow (although I DID play in the snow)... it meant a day filled with wonder. And I guess the older I've gotten, the more that sense of wonder has escaped me.

Maybe I just need to take a little more time to look into the eyes of a child and remember what that first snow felt like.... might make all the difference, huh?
