Cold

I know that Winter doesn't start till the 21st but dang it is cold and the snow is on the ground. It even prompted us to buy our 2nd snowblower. Yes I said 2nd, but not like a his and hers deal more like the last one we bought we returned right away. Ok more like my husband returned right away. You see it didn't fit in the truck and instead of asking to borrow a larger truck or even taking the thing out of the box, it went right back into the store. Luckly they didn't charge us a restocking fee. So pretty much I have been not letting him live it down and the snow finally broke him down.

On the topic of snow we have had our first snowfall and was quite surprised at how much we didn't get. It was going to be the 1st snow fall of the season and it was going to be big, I am talking like 7" - 13" big. Yeah for us though it turned out to be more like 4" if that at the most. I can say it was wet and heavy and not ideal for shoveling but great for making a snowman. We didn't make a snowman that day because I had one child Miss N inside all alone and if you are a mom (or a dad) you know that a 2 yr old can and will get into anything. We didn't label Miss N "Trouble" for nothing. lol So this snow is what prompted my loving husband to buy our 2nd snowblower. I am loving that we bought one and I am looking forward to using it on days that he is not home. This will make it easier to have more time to actually play in the snow with the kids. I might just buy a pair of snow pants for myself. =]

Now that Winter is here she better not take her sweet time to leave. I am already counting down the days till Spring is here.
