She hasn\u0092t mentioned this to me any of the previous times it snowed.  I didn\u0092t want to let her wear her good ski outfit.  If something happened to it (like getting lost, torn or muddy), I\u0092d be pretty mad.  So I dug out two year old ski pants and pulled those on her over her jeans.  (She had to wear pants with pockets so she could take her teeth to school to show her friends.  Gross.)  The ski pants are a wee bit short.  They barely cover the top of her snowboots.  Still&#8230; they do cover them.  She can change into dry socks at lunch.<\/p>\n<p>\tI looked around and realized I own four pairs of boots.  Four.  I\u0092ve never been someone to wear boots.  And now I live in them.  Now I understand all those magazine articles in spring about the thrill of wearing sandals.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Woke up this morning to another blanket of snow.
