Beach towels are out...

we are now ready for winter. Over the course of the night and day it has been snowing. This has brought so much joy for my kids. It's a Saturday so school wasn't even cancelled. The first things that comes out are the snow boots and pants quickly followed by the beach towels. They are the only things big enough to contain the snowstorm brought into the house upon the kids return. Why is it that it takes so long to get them dressed to go out and they HAVE to have your help because they all of a sudden become incompetent of tying shoes. But as soon as they come in, it looks like a jack-in-the-box of clothes being thrown everywhere. And there is me, trying not to ruin the fun of the season, but secretly cringing inside from the mess I'll now have to clean up. Tis the season. It's worth it!
