The Big Snowstorm of 2008

What do you do when you wake up to a perfect wonderland of fluffy white snow? Why, immediately you make your mom find all the snowgear and help you dress to the gills in the attire needed to make snow angels and snowballs and snowforts and all the delights of the season.And then you head out to frolic in the waist-deep snow. For hours and hours. Never getting cold or complaining of the frigid temperatures, of course. OR you can come in after 15 minutes in the soggy coldness of the first Indiana snowfall and drop your clothes in the living room. Yeah. . .that's probably the best idea.
And your mom will think bitterly about how it didn't stop raining for long enough for her to get that last huge pile of leaves off the flowerbeds.

How could they possibly have gotten cold after being bundled so snugly?
Watch a few episodes of Gilmore Girls to find inspiration about being excited about the first snow of the season. Lorelei loves it and so can you.

Yeah, I'm not ready for winter yet either. I was late to work today because the air in our bedroom was freezing cold and I refused to get out of bed.
That said, I'd take snow over strong gusts of icy wind any day.

Snow! You guys are in for a crazy winter! I bet the girls will love it.

Snow already! Say it aint so. I just cringe at the thought...

Wish I had a good excuse the fine blanket of leaves in our yard. Kinda hoping the wind picks them up and carries them off to some wonderful place that isn't my yard.
