I think it’s fair to say we are all tired of winter, sick of the sub-zero temperatures and even Jillian Jiggs (our snow woman we built at the beginning of December) if you look closely sometimes mouths the words, “WHAT THE HELL, can I come inside?!!!”

I liken the snowfall this winter to the play date who just won’t go home.

At first you’re excited to have them over. You play all of your play date games, you eat your special play date snacks, you do a craft, you spy on your siblings.

Then you stick your tongue to a post and it tears part of the tip off.

I’m just waiting for Mother Nature to come and pick up her child.

She’s very, very late.
