And so, they wait. They watch the sky with their dancing brown eyes and wonder when she will open up the storage house for the first time this season. They stare hard at dark trees to see if they can make out any white, even a little. They want to have a cup of cheer with Jack Frost and Farmer Brown, Rudoph and Frosty.
And I remind them It might not and Sometimes the forecasts are wrong so as not to get up hopes. I think of the trouble, of the wet and the freezing and the red chapped hands. I check the cabinets to be sure we have hot chocolate. I stand behind them and squint my eyes out the windows, too. And I pull out the scarves just incase.
we wait together

I LOVE SNOW
I love snow.
I love winter.
I love hot cocoa.
love snowball fights.
I love snow.
I love to play in the snow.
I wish it could snow
forever.
But it can’t–
And it is sad,
wish I could take credit fot this beautiful snowpoem but…

I’ll send you a couple feet of ours for free! I’m in North Dakota!
We’re having the same sort of togetherness today. After naps we’re venturing out to get groceries *just in case* we end up snowed in. Oh, I love a good snowstorm!
. . . and then it does!

You can come play here. We got a good 9 inches last night! My boys played out in it for an hour and a half and then I MADE them come in. It is such a magical time of year. I hope you were blessed with some.

I remeber when we were homeschoolong and my kids always wanted a snow day like the other kids! I learned very qucikly we didn’t get much school done if the rest of the neighborhood kids were outside playing! So even though we didn’t have transportation issues, we still had Snow Days!
