Here we go again - more snow! But I'm not complaining one little bit, bc I absolutely LOVE it. (I believe I mentioned last year that I enjoy listening to my children scream in horror when the car fishtails.. something about that is just so funny.) The only down side is that it makes me wish I was holding a cup of Starbucks while sitting in a warm lodge in Colorado, waiting for Mike to come skiing down the hill, waving his arms frantically at me so that I'll videotape him.
He wasn't wearing skis this time, but who doesn't love a man in a uniform, ridding the city of scourge and snow?
This was on our back porch, and he was trying to make a path so that the my mother in-law's little plagues doggies could get outside to do their business. (Yeah right, as if they'd even consider going outside to do that.)
Sophie decided to join her dad...
Put your hat on, girlfriend!!
It's a good thing Frosty Frieda the Abominable Snowman didn't show up just then, bc Mike would have arrested him.
Btw, I told Mike and Brea that the best way to warm your hands is to do the dishes in hot, sudsy water. They believed me.
Okay, I'll admit that they were doing dishes bc they were trying to be helpful. And they were! Thank you, sweeties. :)
I hope your heart is warmed this winter.
I loved this post..what a sweet family I have. Mike has always, always looked good in his uniform..remember when you were dating, how he put handcuffs on me and took me out to his car IN FRONT OF ALL MY NEIGHBORS?? Today I would just laugh like a crazy person and not care (NO! I did NOT do that Mike!! And don't get any bright ideas). LLLY

Your snow is really beautiful, but I'm glad it's YOURS! Thank goodness for living in the sunny South! It's really cold here in North Carolina, but it is pretty and sunny. We are very inept when it comes to getting around in the "white stuff". Be careful, and stay WARM!

I wouldn't mind the snow either if I had a handsome dude, in uniform, to do the shoveling!
