Winter already?

Monday mornings are hard. This does not even count when they have a 2" blanket of SNOW on top of them!! I woke up Monday morning to a snowy wonderland outside. I have to admit it looked really pretty! I am also glad that it came extremely early in the season since this will make my allergies finally subside. I guess this is the earliest accumulative snow fall for Minnesota in 24 years. Either way, the snow did not help my commute! It also doesn't help that I threw away my snow brush just a week ago thinking that I would have plenty of time to get a new one. My old one only had about three of it's original 8 "teeth" for scraping and it's bristles were all over the place. I had to dig through the husbands car to find his...luckily he had one! I've also discovered that scraping the windows and brushing snow off of a full-sized SUV with an 8 months pregnant belly is not an easy task! Breathless and weak from starvation (not really) I was off to work at a decent time and even made it to work early that day - yeah me!!
On the other hand, the Husband didn't have much work to do so he decided to keep the Prince home for the day and have a Daddy Daycare day. They were able to build a snowman (the snow was just perfect for it!) and they cleaned up the kitchen, did puzzles and made Jell-o! Now for a three year old, that was one heck of a great day. When mommy came home he was so excited to tell me about it that most of it came out in jiberish. Daddy had to interpret for me just a little. I was so jealous!!
I guess my turn will come in about 7 weeks when I get to stay home with both the kids. Of course going outside will be a challenge as well as playing with him, but we'll figure it out!
