Snow is one of the reasons to have kids.
It started snowing about 4:30 today, and if I didn’t have kids I would have simply looked out the window and thought “how pretty”, made myself a cup of tea, and sat in a cozy chair reading a book, periodically looking out the window and thinking “how pretty.”
Because I have kids, I never had an opportunity to sit down. But, a half hour into the snowfall the boys cried “SNOW!” and bustled themselves into coats, boots & mittens and ran outside. mr. jolt soon followed. I could not resist and bundled up and ran out.
Out in the dark, the snow fell like a million little diamonds, just wet enough to make perfect snowballs. Dodge-snow-ball ensued, followed by hot chocolate.
Glorious.

I’m shocked at how bah humbug I’ve become about the snow. I hate it! My kids, though, are just enamored. That part, I suppose, is enjoyable.

I find it helps if you limit your time in it with the excuse of going in and starting the hot chocolate.
