Missing it already










So all the snow is finally gone from our yard...just a few little lonely piles left and it is sad to drive down our hill and see nothing but wet, soggy green. This Montana girl misses the snow...and sad to say, I miss being home with my girls and school being canceled so all we have to do is snuggle in, drink hot cocoa, and bundle up four girlies to go out and play for HOURS in the snow...literally hours! I miss the chaos of getting everyone into snow pants, boots, hats, mittens, scarves...I miss how Rylee could not hear with her hat and scarf on so she would yell everything she said with a HUGE ball of snow in her mitten to eat...i miss hearing the screams of the girls out the back as they would pile on a sled and fly down the slope...i miss watching them make snow angels...i miss watching them take care of each other and pull each others sleds and let the little ones ride on down with them....I'm so glad that they got to experience some of the same memories I had growing up for once....sledding to their hearts content until it was dark...and those red rosy cheeks when they come in....oh yeah, I miss it..I miss it alot!! Good thing its only January...this mama is hoping for MORE SNOW SOON!!!!!

PS: I miss seeing my Sadie girl playing in the snow too...she loved it as much as the kids did!! :)

Okay, maybe if we had a sledding hill and appropriate winter attire I wouldn't be such a snow Scrooge. Great pics!

To read your post the snow seems absolutely amazing now, I guess maybe because it is gone, ALMOST makes me sad. You are so crazy.
