Grumpy, I know. The older I get, the less redeeming qualities I can find in winter. I just really don't like it. The only good thing is I get to wear sweaters and make soup. I can do that in the fall too if it would stick around for more than 2 weeks.
However, Enoch has been waiting for snow since July. The last few weeks have been torture for him - waiting, waiting, waiting. Finally, the snow came and he is thrilled. He talked me into letting him go out into the blizzard to play in the white stuff. The one highlight of this winter is that Enoch can now put on his snow clothes by himself. Yahoo!
Enoch had a great time in the snow; thoroughly enjoyed himself. Kate hates the cold and was happy to just watch from the window. It was very cold with three inches on the ground and gusty winds. The wind was freezing! But, Enoch endured and was quite happy to be outside.
Check out this cool contraption Greg made for me last year. Necessity isn't the mother of invention, it's whining! I guess I whined too much about wet, smelly snow clothes laying all over my mud room and kitchen. Greg designed this snow clothes dryer to fit over the heater vent and force hot air up into boots, hats and gloves to dry them out quickly and get them up off of the ground. It works great. I told him he should go into business. I can't be the only mom out there complaining about this.
Greg and Enoch are so excited about winter being here, Kate is cold and Gavin and I are cranky and just trying to make it though.

Well I do love winter, so I can't sypathize. Although I don't think fall is all the way over. Wow, very effective and creative on Greg's part. He should go onto Shark Tank, you guys ever seen that show?
I love enoch's face, I would have loved to see Kate looking at him through the window. There is greg's ticket to being rich.
That contraption is genius!
Well, whenever you get discouraged with winter, just pull out those pictures of Enoch's happy face eating that new snow! Greg has a promising future with a new business. The first business principle we teach in our self-employment workshop is "Sell what the market will buy." I think the "Mom market" will buy! Congratulations and thank you, Greg!
I'll like to put in an order for a glove/boot drying contraption. I don't have a mud room, so our winter things end up in the bathroom or the back door. Jimmy insisted on going out in the new snow, too. We should have gotten them together.
