There's no Snow on the Ground

I always forget how much excitement snow brings to a little child or in my case how snow can bring out the child in you. The first word of snow immediatly brought thoughts of building a snowman, eating snow cream, having snow balls fights, and most of all watching Landon all bundled up in layers playing as hard as he could outside in the snow. Needless to say none of those things happened Friday morning and all of that childhood excitement turned into childhood disappointment. Landon came running in my room with more excitement than Christmas morning and whispered in my ear, "Lets go look at the snow!!!!" I wiped my eyes and popped out of the bed to open the front door to a rainy mist that covered the porch and cars parked out front. Landon just took a deep breath and started crying slightly. He said, "it didn't snow last night??" Of course I had to explain that one to Mr. Inquisitive and of course he got over it for the most part. I did learn a very valuable lesson that morning, never tell your child that it is going to snow until you see it for yourself. Ill have to keep that childlike excitement to myself until I see with my very own eyes that first fallen snowflake hit the ground!!
