Just so I don't forget

I'm posting my thankful Thursday post today. I've been really thankful for the little moments in the day when my ds and I can just run and play and be carefree for a while. We've been getting snow off and on for the last week or so (with more to come) and the two of us spent the morning outside on Monday playing. He's at such a fun age right now (he'll be 18 months a couple days after Christmas) Everything is such an adventure and he focuses whole-heartedly on every new experience. I've come to love the fact that the same traits that make him stubborn and mischievous and somewhat "difficult" at times also make him determined and adventurous and outgoing. I feel like during these little moments together I get to see a glimps at who he is going to become.

Winter Wonderland

"Oh the weather outside is frightful but the fire is so delightful, since we've no place to go..."

We had our first real taste of winter weather this weekend. I just love this time of year when you can go to bed at night and everything is drab and tired looking from the long seasons before and then wake up in the morning to a fresh white blanket covering everything. I just love the snow and everything about this time of year.....this is except the endless rain that we get up here in the pacific northwest.
We had a beautiful 2 days of snow only to wake up to rain yesterday morning. If you can believe it ALL the snow is gone (other then a few small piles left behind by the plows) we went for a drive around town yesterday and the flooding has already began and yet it continues to rain and rain. Oh well they are calling for more snow in a couple weekends so there is still hope for a white Christmas here ;) although it's been years since we've had one.
Honestly I can't even remember the last time there was snow on Christmas day. I know this post has really nothing to do with cloth diapering or even parenting at all but I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to share the beauty of this season.

"...Let it snow, let it snow, let it SNOW!"
