I love snow. When it starts snowing I am out the door with my kids playing in it. The key is to bundle up and enjoy, even if it’s only for twenty minutes. This winter’s been very cold and snowy, though.  We’ve had so much snow I can’t look at it anymore;  I don’t want to go outside anymore and I think I am fed up with it.  I don’t want to get out of the house to run errands because it’s cold and I have to bundle up. I am ready for Spring!
