Snow Storm = Snow Day = Snow Fun

               I've never really been a big fan of the snow.  My mom used to love to ski, snowboard, snow mobile, and do all these fun winter sports so, naturally, she's always encouraging me to try this stuff out.  I've always been more of a summer type of girl.  I love boogie boarding, playing in the waves, relaxing on the beach, and playing summer sports like kick ball.  I'd rather wear shorts and a tank top than jeans and boots.  In face, I used to think the only good part about winter was getting to wear my collection of scarves, my favorite fashion accessory.

               After the day I had yesterday, I have a whole new appreciation for winter.  The bitter cold is dreadful, in my opinion, but the snow is beautiful.  It's like, and I quote from The Clique My Little Phony book I'm currently reading, the MAC fairy came and sprinkled frosty white eyeshadow all over the earth and then kissed it with dazzle-glass coated lips.  I love that quote!  Lisi Harrison is such a talented writer!  The snow sparkles in the sunlight, and even at night it glistens in the moonlight.  It's so gorgeous!

               Last night I was babysitting my brother for a couple hours and we decided to go outside and play in the snow.  I bundled him up in snow pants, boots, mittens, and a hat.  Then, we headed outside.  We made snow angels, we attempted to build a huge snow volcano, and had a snow ball fight.  My dog, Sammy, was rolling around in the snow and I was thinking, how can you stay warm?!?!?!?

               

It was a lot of fun!  I would lay in the snow and look up at this huge pine tree we have in out backyard and it was covered in the "Frosty White MAC Eyeshadow".  It was really beautiful.  When I was smaller, around the age of 10, I used to play out in the snow all the time and I loved it, but now I don't really play in the snow that much any more.  I don't know how my dislike for winter occurred, but I do know that now I love the Winter.

               The absolute best part about winter is when you're done trilling around in the snow, you can come inside and sit down with a mug of hot chocolate.  The best is swiss miss.  It has little mini marshmallows in it and then I like to put a stick of peppermint in it and when it melts it's delicious!  Try it out and let me know what you think!  :)
