Yep, days.

As in, plural.

As in, Tay has been home for an extended Christmas break for far too long.

So, that means mom misses more work than normal, my house is destroyed, and “I’m bored” have become the only words she knows.

The incredible amount of snow has prolonged my oldest child from going back to school to learn and play all day, and has also prevented me from being able to drive my youngest to our sweet friend who cares for him while I work. Which means Bubs is bouncing off the walls needing out of the house.

I keep saying I hate the snow. I blame all of my frustrations on the snow. I blame weight gain on the snow (I can do that, right?) I blame boredom, anger, crying toddlers, lack of sleep, bad hair days, forgetting to pay a bill, and anything in between on the SNOW.

So today. I decided to embrace the beautiful snow. It’s breathtaking really. Even feet deep I love the way it looks, I love the texture, I love that it covers the ugliest of things with a soft white blanket. I was tired of being cooped up. I wanted to see the sunset over the lake. So today we ventured out and just breathed it all in.

Benson loves the fresh air as much as I do. He marvels at the sunset and calls it pretty. His runny nose and pink cheeks are an indication that it’s cold outside but he doesn’t care, he will brave the cold for the fresh air and pretty sunset.
