I think it's snowing again
We seem to be saying this a lot lately and I think I'll be wanting the warm sun soon. However, I want us to enjoy things as they are right now and so we fill our days with lots of imaginative play inside. The boys wanted their puffer jackets over there pajamas this morning and then they stood at the window and watched the morning snow.
In the late morning we were looking through the doctor kit and Jack with a very serious expression turned to Ian and put on the stethoscope. He gently unzipped his puffer vest and listened to his heart, while looking at the ceiling and sucking on his fingers. Ian stood stock still staring as if a superstar were touching him:)
This evening he asks...
Jack - Which place would I like to go? (After loading my rolling suitcase with Legos)
Erik - Are you going to Mombasa?
Me - Mombasa is in Africa.
Jack - I'm going to Bossah Africa.
Tonight the littlest bird in our bunch yelled,"Snow!" after it was dark and sure enough...Somehow he saw the big flakes coming down fast in the yard. And then tonight as I was singing them to sleep I couldn't help getting them out of there beds to sit in front of the window watching the giant flakes float slowly down. Children make moments like this even more magical:)

Posted by: jenny at March 26, 2008 07:07 AMAmy - We put it up for good:) I can't stand it and we were leaving it open anyway except when I would need to run to the bathroom (because of the scary stairs of course:). You want it?
Jenny - It is the best kind of warm in this house. I wish I could take the radiators, doors and windows with me when we leave. Germans know how to make a house - except for the stairs that little bodies can fit through. I'll leave the stairs gladly:)

I love their puffer jackets and the coziness of being inside on a snowy day. Enjoy it!
