Snow, Snow, and more snow

When I was a kid(or even a teenager) I was thrilled to wake up and look out the window and see 5 or 6 inches of snow! Back then snow mean't sleeping late and no school! Not to mention the sleigh riding, hot cocoa, and talking to friends.

Now that I am an adult I still get that initial woohoo! its snowing. Then reality sets in. . . I am no longer that kid that got to miss school and hang out with friends. Now I am an adult and my career choice happened to be a nurse. No longer does snow mean relaxation and fun.

So this morning I scraped off the car and bundled Brea up in her snowsuit. Then dropped Brea off at my grandmother's house and began the slow journey to work. Hoping that it would be a safe journey

Going 35 mph or less my usual 20 minute drive seemed to take forever! I was fortunate to only see one car accident. It was on the interstate and just looked like the car had slid off the road. It took me about 45 minutes to get to work, but I made it!

Tonight instead of going home to play with Brea in the snow I will be staying at work until 11pm. Which is okay considering that I get tommorrow off now. I'm hoping that some snow will be left and we can have some fun then.

How I miss the carefree snow days of youth! It is amazing how much you take for granted as a kid. Hopefully as Brea grows older I will get to relive at least a little of that through her.

Brea's first snow experience!

It snowed! This was Brea's first experience with snow. She absolutely loved it! Sadly we didn't invest in a snowsuit this year so the experience was a little short lived. We managed to stay outside for about an hour, but her pants were so soaked I didn't feel comfortable keeping her out any longer. She really loved putting her hands(yes they were gloved) in the snow. We were out long enough to get some good pictures(see above) and a little video. Lesson learned next year a snowsuit is definitely on the must have list!

It is snowing!

We are getting ready for bath and bedtime, but I had to take a minute to say it is snowing. I just made a post earlier today about not liking winter except for the snow. This is the first snow that we have had this year(at least with any accumulation). I can not wait to take Brea out to play in it tommorrow! The only bad thing is that we only get inclement weather on Tuesdays(same day as Brea's tumbling class). This will be the second week in a row closed. Okay little one is fussy have to go.
