Why I Like Michigan
I miss Texas. I miss my friends. Y'all know I do. And I emphasize this with the "y'all."
But.
I love snow. I mean, I love snow. It makes me happy. It refreshes my spirit.
This is what the Cub Scouts did today. See this?
This is a sledding hill. And all those people on it are sledding. Or getting ready to sled. You get the gist.
Last time we went sledding, Lachlan was little. I had to carry him, and sled with him. This time, he never looked back:
A playground's a playground, whatever the weather:
(Since I homeschool, I feel obliged to point out that I did knit that hat.)
We brought a cake, and called it a birthday party for the two January birthday boys:
Honest, Aidan's making that face on purpose.
It hasn't snowed much yet - half an inch here, an inch there. We haven't been above freezing in a couple of weeks, though, so whatever small amounts we get stay. I'm still rooting for a good 4-6 inch fall.

Looks like they all had a blast. I remember snow like that in Boston . Snow is why I love winter.

Hey - when did you get the knitting mojo? Good job!
Isn't snow nice? So clean and slidey and wintery.

Yes - 4-6" - then the boys will discover the not-so-fun activity of snow: shoveling driveways and sidewalks :)

Evidence of that sled outing is here Sledding with Stephanie and her boys. It is vastly more fun when all participants walk on their own, I bet. We left Illinois ever so slightly too soon to experience sledding without Mama hauling a child. It looks great fun!

Thanks for posting that link, Cath. Geez, how small they all were ...
Sarah, I don't think I've got any knitting mojo going on. I did that hat on a Knifty Knitter thing. I'm trying to make something with actual needles, but so far it mostly involves cursing.
