Snow

Yep it finally came to Illinois!! If I had my way I would live somewhere where it did not snow! Maybe it is because I have a winter birthday, or the fat that I was born on the coldest day even in Illinois ( up to that point...I think there has been colder since) but I HATE the winter.
I love the sledding and the skiing but that is about it. I would prefer to be sitting on a beach, looking at the ocean and sipping a margarita. The boys however LOVE the winter. Maybe it is because almost every little kid loves snow or the fact that cold weather doesn't seem to bother kids. This morning the boys were very loud in letting us know there was snow. Zach was up and asking to play in it by 8 am and Alex looked out the window before school and let the whole house know that it had snowed.
Most of it has melted by now but Zach and Addie did play in it a little before we went to the store this morning. Zach just liked walking around and making foot prints all over and Addie was trying to figure out what the cold stuff on the ground was. I am sure that we will have many many more days with snow on the ground. I am sure we will have many days of sledding and snowboarding this winter. But hopefully it does not stay too long.... I prefer the heat.
