I can NOT handle anymore snow.
I love winter. I get all giddy with the first snow fall. I adore those cold, sunny winter days. But this much snow in the city makes life very complicated. And it has been going on far too long. So, we head up north where we can at least take solace in a hot tub and ski on those cold sunny days. This Sunday has got to be one of the best ski days ever. But still, enough already.
So, what do you do when you have built 3500 snowmen, tobogganed 5 zillion times, lost count of how many times you have shoveled your driveway, and had countless snowball fights? Why, you get into your beach clothes and do THIS:
I told them it hurts:
Yup. My children are insane. But this is what happens when you have had 4 straight months of snow and you know your friends are vacationing on a beach somewhere. Or your family in Calgary are walking around in t-shirts and your sister in the U.K. is seeing the early blooms of spring. It is called DESPERATION and obviously I am not the only one in my family suffering. Please help. Who knows what we might do next.
We had the same thing going on at the Plunge Pool at Intrawest Jen. Adam would make angels and then jump back into the hot tub. Since it was my first almost healthy day and the week was almost over, I gave it a pass, but it totally reminded me of my childhood and the crazy things we would do in winters that lasted as long and had as much snow as this one.
We spent March Break in Washington, DC. No snow there. I was occasionally cool and damp but warmed up at the end of the week.
I owe a BIG thank you to by best gal pals though who watched over my house. Not only did they bring in the mail and water the plants but THEY SHOVELED and then… WASHED MY FLOORS!
(I have a dog… my floors are never truly clean while she is in the house… but they figured she was in the kennel and it would be a lovely surprise for me. They were right!)
it was 6 degrees today and my kids were acting like we were in florida. the weather is making us a little bit nutty! i can’t imagine what’s going to happen when it actually is warm – we’re going to go bananas.
your kids are AWESOME>
My hubby had his coffee out on the deck with our new patio furniture this morning! *ducking*
You can laugh at me when I complain of snow on my birthday (mid-May), though, okay?
