Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr . . .

I am trying not to be a grump. I am trying not to complain about the wet, windy, cold weather.

I am a summertime gal. I like camping, swimming, and sitting outside on warm evenings when it doesn't get dark until 9:00.

So I'm trying to think good things about wintertime. Here are a few. This might be a short list despite me trying to be creative . . . so I might need some help!

GOOD THINGS ABOUT COLD WEATHER:

1. My kids look really cute in hats.

2. I like fuzzy socks and my new slippers.

3. I like lighting fires and then sitting by the fire for hours.

4. I like cooking cold weather things like beans and cornbread, and chili.

Ummmmm - okay I think I'm done. I guess I'll just focus on hats, socks, slippers, fires, and chili.

Brrrrr . . . did you notice that it's COLD outside?

Maybe if I had a new coat to wear that would help . . . .

Oh, and NO, the cute but unhappy cold child pictured above is not mine . . . but a cute little tyke, no?
