Snow Day
My sister-in-law, Jessica, posted this quote on her blog, and I thought I would share it too. I hope you don't mind Jess! I really liked it. It's one of those I'm going to post on my fridge.
"Perhaps most significant of all classrooms is the classroom of the home. It is in the home that we form our attitudes, our deeply held beliefs. It is in the home that hope is fostered or destroyed. Our homes are the laboratories of our lives. What we do there determines the course of our lives when we leave home. Dr. Stuart E. Rosenberg wrote in his book The Road to Confidence, 'Despite all new inventions and modern designs, fads and fetishes, no one has yet invented, or will ever invent, a satisfying substitute for one's own family.'"(Thomas S. Monson, "Precious Children--A Gift From God," Ensign, Nov. 1991, 68)
On Monday after school, the kids went outside and played in the snow. They were funny to watch. In this picture, Scotlyn and Ivy are eating their "ice cream cones". It's too hard to resist eating snow when you are a kid. I remember doing it and being told not to, I could never quite understand why, but now I do. And now I find myself telling my kids not to eat snow.

And I can't believe all of that snow. We had little tiny white flurries for a second and a half that melted as soon as they hit the pavement. And that was about it. Oh well... I guess it's going to come soon enough.
