More Snow Fun

After slipping and sliding, getting a bit stuck at a stop sign on a hill, and finally making it home safely, I was ready to grab a paper bag and have a hyperventilating session but the kids wanted to play outside. So I skipped the nervous breakdown and got them ready for some fun in the snow instead. All the tracks you see in the second picture were made by Merritt running everywhere like a demented snowbeast. Gracie mostly sat in the snow and licked snowflakes off her gloves (she thinks snow is yummy), and yes, Grace is wearing purple snow pants, a pink coat and blue mittens. Could I find her purple snow coat anywhere...NO! I remember seeing it hanging in the closet of the kids' room in Orem. I haven't seen it here, but what did I care if her coat wasn't hanging in the closet in JUNE! I don't need a psychic to tell me that there are a couple of hours looking through boxes in our storage room in my future. I have to confess that I really don't care if the kids snow clothes match, I just care that they are warm and comfortable, but I DID try this time to make a coordinating outfit for Grace by buying the purple snowpants to compliment the coat she already owns. Now I say, why bother! She had fun and I had a fit...of smacking myself on the forehead for misplacing her coat in some box. D'oh!
