Here's a great reminder of what is really important in my life. I just walked through the wet snow to meet my kids as they got off the school bus. We just moved from Texas and today marks their first snow in a long time:
My 5 yr-old son (five times louder than normal): MOMMY!!! ISN'T IT AWESOME????? ITS SNOWING!!!! I'M SOOOOO EXCITED!!! I KEEP EATING THE SNOW BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE ME FULL!!!!!! AND IT DOESN'T TASTE LIKE ANYTHING AT ALL!!!!!
Me: It IS exciting. Let's go home and I'll make everyone some hot chocolate!
My 6 yr-old daughter: Yay! But this time try not to make it with so much chocolate.
Me: Oh, okay. Yeah, I guess it was too strong last time. I'm sorry.
My 8 yr-old son : That's okay, Mommy, accidents happen. But its how we learn....
Now see? They seem to know the world better than I do!
