Let it Begin

(This pic. was taken during our first snow, when it only lasted for the day)

The high today is 24 degress, I think (not including wind chill). I am not ready for this. It is a snowy wonderland outside with lovely sheets of clear slippery ice. Ahhh, winter. It wouldn't
be so completely depressing except that I know there are months and months of this ahead. Although I think my children look darling all bundled up Randy style (think lil bro of A Christmas Story) it makes trying to leave the house a real life nightmare. I love the holidays, the festivities, the sparkling lights, a good snuggly under cozy blankets while watching a movie and sipping hot chocolate...but lets be honest...I'm totally okay with my palm trees decked out in white lights, wearing flip flops with a hoody, and pretending that the balmy 60 degree weather is totally winter! Deep (deep) sigh!

I keep being told that winters here aren't as bad as Iowa, we'll see about that. So far, not as cold with the wind chill, but like you said it is just the beginning! Randy is exactly who I thought of when I bundled Gracen and he could hardly stand! Kids are so cute!

I am NOT ready for this! I told Ryan to cross La Cross, Wisconsin off his list of possible residency programs. Bring on Texas and Arizona!

Maginot said...

Amen to that, and that's why I am in Los Angeles!

I couldn't agree more, this is why Colby is going to Texas for 2 months next year- I am so ready for something tropical. (although with my luck he will end up in the scramble and get a residency in Siberia!)
