overnight, it snowed here. a LOT.
before i went to sleep last night, i looked out the window and tried to imagine what today would be like. i don't know if i do this to psyche myself up or out.
i prayed that one of my generous neighbors/fellow preschool parents would offer to drive the paloma to and from school. because as most of you know i don't drive. at all. i walk. which for the most part is fine with me... when i'm by myself. and as 8:25 am rolled around (10 minutes past our normal departure time), i knew we would have to brave the elements.
as you know from experience (or can imagine), walking anywhere with a 4yr old and a 2yr old is difficult. add frigid temperatures, general morning crankiness and layer after layer of acrylic puffiness and/or gender neutral embroidered fleece (more than enough to choke a whale shark) and you could have the making of a perfect tantrum storm - times two - one fully mobile and one strapped to a jogging stroller that i'm struggling to push thru 2" of fresh unshoveled snow...
and then my kids surprise me. as they always do.
a sigh turns into a laugh while i'm being pelted in the head w/ poorly formed snowballs by a laughing paloma. despair turns into pleasure as the porkchop coos and points excitedly at the snowplows and salt trucks grumbling by.
the sun is shining and the sky is clear and blue and my faith in that silver lining bullsh*t is restored.
i present to you our headless snow angel...

Ooooh, that's so great that your morning turned out so much better than you expected, your children sound like they are so sweet and wonderful. Love the photo!
LOL! Cadence's first snow angel turned out headless too. I think her head is a little light. Which worries me...Anyhoo, it creeped me out so I drew in a head before I took a picture.
sorry anonymous...
i had to delete your crappy, racist, misogynist comment.
i suggest you get your own blog.
