We are having the loooongest winter. It hasn’t been particularly brutal, but it just. won’t. end. On Monday, I woke up to this view from my window:

Ever since moving to a place where it snows, I have learned that I am not a huge fan. It was fun to have snow at my grandparents’ house at Christmas when I was a kid. Then it was an exciting novelty. But now it’s just cold.

But, because I try to be a good mother, I bundled up the kids to go play out in the snow on Monday morning, the first day of Spring Break. And you know what? We really did have fun. Turns out that the snow we got was ideal for building a snowman! I plopped Campbell in the snow, thinking she would crawl around or do something, but she just sat there looking annoyed. I guess she takes after her mommy!
