Yippeeeee

What a morning today!

It was early when I opened my eyes, around 7 am to be exact, and since the kids were talking quietly to each other without the usual hair pulling battles I figured it was the perfect time to snuggle up to big D.
Then the phone rang. Big D mumbles at whoever is calling us at 7 in the morning and frantically tries to make it to the phone downstairs.
(Its already been established that its just faster for him to go, as I'm getting slower and slower in my movements due to my bulging mommy belly.)
So, to do my part I call down and ask who it was.
"It's your mother, crap I just missed her." he informs me. Pondering why my mother would call in the middle of her morning routine, big D shouts.
"Holy sh!t! Look out the window!"
Even more confused (lets not forget that my brain is still on the pillow) I scramble out of bed and throw open the curtain.
White. Everything covered in white.
Something so magical about snow. And even as I stood there, the feeling of excitement swelled up. Not just for me, I know what snow is like for adults. But I knew two little boys who would be thrilled about this morning surprise.
"Boys!" I call out, throwing on pj bottoms. "Look out the window!"
Of course they didn't wait for me, but I heard their squeals of delight as I made my way to their room.
It took them forever to calm down as mommy and daddy tried to figure out this small little dilemma.
We were supposed to pick up Eric a new snow suit, since he grew out of his last night. But big D had to stay late at school and by the time he got home, it was way to late to go out. So I figured we would have time this evening to do it.
How wrong I was. There was no way I was sending them out in sneakers and Eric in a small coat. We had to go shopping, and we had to go shopping now.
And who doesn't love shopping at our fave nemesis, Wal-Mart. So we have the kids all excited, I have this sudden rush of feeling all Christmasy (new word) and the store that is usually packed with morons was somewhat vacant. It was a good shopping trip for sure.
Then, as we are loading up the car, some twit decided to park in the expected mothers spot next to us. I really wanted to shout out 'Hey, when are you expecting?' but alas, the moment passed.
Next time tho...next time.

So now I'm going to go get ready for a nice lunch date with my future hubby and pick up the remains that we seemed to have forgotten.
