Expect the unexpected

Expect the unexpected.
Such as finding your daughter's bare foot prints and tea set in the snow.
Today we had a snow day,
which included a snowball fight,
trudging around the block making snow angels along the way,
hot mint cocoa, watching Mr. Rogers, sledding,
and playing royal family -
which was all good.

And then as if a snow day wasn't unexpected enough,

the boy started feeling yucky and began to throw up (poor baby).

I remember my mother always used to say:

"It's ALWAYS something."

I always hated that but to tell you the truth... when related to all things parenting, it seems way too true.

  2. Bare foot prints? Must we have yet another talk with the child about how she is not a penguin, but, in fact, a little girl? Don't tell your mom. We'll have to get out the smelling salts!
