In true Kansas fashion, how about a blog post with snow pictures, on a day that our high is supposed to be 75 degrees.
Have I told you I love winter? Okay, I have, I know.
I love that while winter is cold, it's cozy and warm. Winter means comfort food and cozy blankets. And sweatpants and warm drinks. It means beautiful snow and snow days.
And sometimes it means there is no place to go and nothing to do other than relax, cozy up and stay warm. Being the homebody I am, this is just up my alley.
The only thing I don't like about winter is that my poor hubby has to work outside in it. He wears layers upon layers upon layers of clothes. The kids have fun counting how many pieces of clothing he takes off when he comes home. His only chance all day long to warm up is a 30 minute lunch in the warmth of a fast food restaurant.
BUT, the positive side is that if it's snowy or the temperatures are entirely too cold to be working in it all day....he is home with us! So pretty much every snow day the kids have, Dave is home too!
I know, I know, I have it good. I'm thankful. And it's just one more reason on my list of why I love winter.
The kids have loved playing in the snow this year. Even little Gavin. He loves the snow!
Normally, our sledding consists of sleds being tied behind the 4 wheeler and we take over the streets of the neighborhood and the nearby field. But this year we found a hill also.
Having neighbor friends to go sledding with makes it even more fun.
Any one wanna put bets down on a March snowstorm?

I've followed your blog a while now and comment ever so often, but this post deserves a comment. It makes me so so so happy to read a post about someone who LOVES winter and who's kids get to enjoy the snow. I'm in Texas so obviously our 3 snow days were really only ice. We have family in KS and IN where they have gotten tons of snow, but just don't appreciate it. :) This post makes me SOO happy! Enjoy your snow and your March snowman ;)
Al and I were just talking about this. I am guessing we will still have snow. Probably after the trees and plants have started to bud.
What hill did you find? Last year we used the east side of I-35 from the outlet mall. It was terrific!! Not much traffic on that side. With the kids so far away now, we didn't get to do it. I almost, almost went out by myself!
