All covered in white

The snow has finally made it to Michigan. We are loving it! If it is going to be cold it might as well snow. Otherwise, just bring the Spring weather already. Yesterday after schoo Faith, Champ and I all played outside in the snow. Although the snow was not wet enough to make snowballs, I managed to chase Faith around the yard with a snow shovel filled with snow. I finally caught up with her after chasing her around the garage. She was not ready for the big dump to fall on her. She was covered in white from her head to feet. Knowing that this snow was going to come, I have been a terrible mom because both of my kids have no snow pants. How can you be a true kid and make a snow angel with no snow pants. Faith found a way though. Double layers make it easy. Faith and Champ climbed aboard the sled and I tied a string to it. They held onto each other and the sled and I began to run back and forth with them stopping at the end of the driveway and spinning them around on the sled. It was so much fun to hear them squealing with delight. "Faster, faster, faster" Sorry guys, mommy doesn't run much faster than this. Today we headed out to the airport where there is a huge hill. Although the hill had a posted sign that said no snowboarders and sled at your own risk, the hill was awesome. It was by far the fastest and biggest hill I've slid down. I made it up and down the hill about 5 times before I called it quits. Faith mozzied on up the hill while Champ and I waited. After waiting 10 minutes for her to climb that hill as slow as she possibly could I decided that would be the last climb. Faith climbed into my lap and we pushed forward making it all the way to the van. Winter time is fun. Like an old friend once said, "Winter is cold. You just have to take up some winter sports to pass the time."
