Embrace it

I'm probably the only one in Wisconsin that isn't sick of snow yet.  My favorite part about living in Wisconsin is that we have seasons.  Today was a balmy 27 so FINALLY Abby got to play in the snow with her brother.  I wasn't sure how he would do.

He jumped right in.

Crunched some snow in his hand,

Tried to dig it up, 

and marveled at the beauty of it.

While Abby relished the fresh air, 

the mountains,

And the quiet.

She couldn't stop smiling, 

inventing new games, 

and laughing.

And of course they BOTH had 

to have a taste.

We definitely embraced the season today!

Love

Abby: "Mom, why do you look so sad?"

Me: "Because I really wanted this job and they didn't want me to have it.  And now I feel like they are playing games with me".

Abby (in a very angry, self righteous voice): "They are mean!  You don't need to play games with them anymore.  It's not fair! I don't like those mean ladies!"

The fierce love of a little girl.  We're raising her right.

"I wanna take a picture with my mad face"
