If you can't beat 'em...

While most of the North East and East Coast look like this...
We seem to be enjoying a gorgeous blue-sky day, similar to this...
only...hold the mountains. ;)
I gotta admit...NOT missing PA today. Because according to the news this morning, they are right in that "additional 10-16in" zone for the afternoon forecast.

My daughter thinks the snow is awesome.
She loves walking on it, staring at it, eating it, smelling it, yelling at it...
And every time I am attempting to load her into the car she attempts to squirm away and run to the nearest snow bank.
And, let me remind those of you not living near....
there are more then enough snow banks to choose from.
I don't cave and let her wriggle free.
It's cold, she's usually snotty faced anyway, and... just, ugh, messy.
However - today, I let her go.
The church parking lot was empty and mounds of snow were abounding...
just waiting for a little girl in a puffy, yellow, marshmallow coat to climb them.
I put her down and she tried to run as fast as she could.
Then...stopped.
She just wanted a look.
A peek for herself.
So, I trotted after her and scooped her up and we pointed to the sun -
then we pointed to the snow and talked about it.

If you can't beat 'em....
Join 'em. :)
