It snowed today. It’s the second snow of the season (although the first snow lasted maybe twelve seconds, so I refuse to count it), the first one to have ‘stuck’.
As much as I’m feeling overrun with snowpants and wet socks and lost mittens, it’s so much fun to see the absolute joy in these kids’ eyes as they anticipate going out and rolling around. Or to hear them come running up to me and saying in their very best French , “Madame! Madame! It neiged! And me and Laura made a bonhomme de neige!”
… okay, give them a break, they’re only six and barely started learning the words in September.

Other: Rob and I were doing supremely well, having put a whopping $200 into the Wedding Fund. Then our car decided to die — not die, like, oh the car needs a new muffler. Nope. Die as in it won’t start, nothing we do will make it start, it’s abandoned at the co-op (although my dad and I went out in the neige last night and towed it to the garage where as I type this it is being poked at by a mechanic who will probably tell us that the repair will cost way more than the $200 we have in the Wedding Fund). So I’ve been driving my dad’s truck (which I love doing, by the way) to and from work. Anyway, this brings us to a question. If I were to start selling knitted goods (custom made or or whatever) to help raising funds for the nuptials, would anyone out there be even interested? I’m making a blanket for one person, and a couple of hats. Other than that…?

Okay that was just an idea.
IT SNOWED!
