Snowy Day

IMG_2752

This past weekend, it snowed!

And everyone knows, when it snows, you wear your snow boots. And your fancy skirt. (And leggings and a shirt if you have mean parents like I do.)

Snowy days are good for wrestling on the bed …

and making chocolate chip cookies …

and eating the chocolate chips that go in the chocolate chip cookies …

while Dad shovels the driveway.

Waiting for chocolate chip cookies to cool is hard, though.

But the wait is definitely worth it.

Really snowy days make walking in snow difficult …

but all the snow also makes everything look beautiful.

Snowy days are better when walking on shoveled sidewalks (still, I walk pretty slow).

Snowy days also are good for sledding. Although we had, what Mom calls, an incident. After just one run down the hill! I’m OK. But the sled broke. We have to get a new one.

Dogs love snowy days.

As do I.

Snowy days are really good for visits from grandparents. Especially when they bring homemade potato soup.

And the best part about snowy days? When it’s still snowy the next morning. Which means you get to wear your snow boots all the next day, too.

“The aging process has you firmly in its grasp if you never get the urge to throw a snowball.” —Doug Larson

    How did Sophie do with the cookie-making? I haven't tried that with Libby yet.

    Good although as with everything with her these days, it required patience. What really helped is giving her something to do (even if it was "stirring" nothing) while I did the parts she couldn't. And not feeling bad about scooping up spilled ingredients and putting them back in the bowl. Oh, and every time I cook now, she wants to help. Often I just give her stuff to play with on the kitchen floor, though, and that keeps her happy.

    I love Sophie's laugh!
