Grizzly, sounds like you really worked through your feelings yesterday and turned your day around. Nice going. That's a good lesson to learn - that if you wake up cranky and overwhelmed, you can still turn it around!
Midton, that's quite a new toy you have. I can see you're excited about it! My kids love snow because it means no school (most of the time). Where I live, there is no telling what kind of winter we'll have. Either we get no snow all winter, or we get hammered with several large storms, or somewhere in the middle. Usually if I try to get prepared and buy lots of snow gear for the kids (boots, snow pants, etc.) we end up having a mild winter. And usually if I'm lax about the snow preparation, we get hammered. This year has been very mild so far. Not even many if any days below freezing so far. Some flowers were blooming on the bushes outside. Must be very confusing for them!
