It's Winter

Braly has been sick for nearly a week. I mean, running a fever on & off of 103 or close to it. Tells me that the weather has changed & I'm mostly ok with that except that I hate the sickness that seems to come with the change of weather. He's finally feeling better & should be able to go to school today. We'll see though since he's still sleeping (he's my early bird, up at 7am or soon after, dressed & ready for the day all on his own if his clothes are laid out).

Gabby on the other hand is not my morning girl. Don't get me wrong, the tonsil surgery really helped, and I mean REALLY! But she's still not the one to jump out of bed & get ready all on her own like Braly. She needs lots of help in the morning....except when she sees SNOW! That's right, this girl is totally in love with snow. You say the word snow & her eyes light up like 100 Christmas trees. I got her down from her bed & carried her into the bathroom just like I do every morning & was holding her when her beautiful brown eyes spied that white stuff on the neighbors roof. She jumped off my lap & started to climb into the bathtub to get closer to the window to take a better look at the snow. With great excitment in her voice, she said SNOW mom, there's still SNOW! I said I know & if you want to get outside in it to wait for the bus you had better get ready. That girl started dressing herself & had a glowing smile on her face the whole time. So I guess if I want her to get out of bed when there isn't snow, like in summer, I have to climb a ladder, sprinkle fake snow on the neighbors roof & tell her there is snow. LOL The way Gabby says SNOW reminds me of a song from one of my favorite movies White Christmas. I told Gabby I'd try to find the song so she could hear it so I didn't have to take the VHS out. Yes, I haven't upgraded to DVD yet (forget Blue Ray for now) but perhaps that will change this year. Enjoy. Gotta love You tube & someone who found the time to upload the video clips to it. Looks like I can't embed this one so you'll have to follow the link.
