FIRST DAY OF SNOW 2008

Today I was helping Tylie write a letter to her Uncle Mark who is serving a mission. While she was figuring out how to write an E. I looked out the window to this. ( Don't worry I will post pictures just haven't quite figured that out yet.)

My kids were so excited. We have not seen Snow for a long time being that we have lived in Phoenix. So of course after 30 minutes of putting on the snow suits, boots jackets, coats, beanies, gloves, and whatever else you could think of they were set.

I am going to have to say I have a love hate relationship with the snow. I love it because it is so beautiful, peaceful, calming. I hate it because I have to be outside in it. I used to be able to enjoy it from the window reading a great book covered by a blanket. But when you have 3 little ones you have to be a part of it. So after getting them out the door, then I had to gear up. Don't worry my gear consisted of my pajama bottoms I was already wearing. A pair of Scott shoes (and no I had no socks on) and of course a jacket. Lucky for me it wasn't freezing at this point. I got a work out pushing the kids up and down the hill in the sled. I'm pretty sure there was only 1/8 of an inch of snow on the ground and the sled was not moving at a rapid speed by any means without me pulling. Had a snow fight with Tate, jumped on the tramp, made snow angels. Then the snow started to melt, and it was time to get the kids ready for school. I don't think I rally have any idea what I am in for. A UTAH WINTER. OH PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!
