Today I woke up to a thick blanket of white, powdery snow outside. This means that I had to shovel all the sidewalks in front of Tangle. (Can I just say that it’s a major pet peeve of mine to have sidewalks shoveled now that I walk to and from work? You’d be surprised how many people don’t.) I let the kids run around outside while I shoveled and everything was going swimmingly until Honor tripped head first into a big pile of snow. Let’s just say, 3 hours later, he’s finally stopped whining about it.

I have to say, though, that snow makes me terribly happy. Here in the desert, we don’t usually get a ton of snow, so each snowfall is a treat. I love it because it covers all the ugly brown. It also provides a great backdrop for photos that would have happened had Honor not nearly died in the snow.
