What were you doing first thing this morning?
Living in the south of England means that you have to take full advantage of the snow. Even if that means getting up before sunlight and making snowmen before school.
Of course the children were delighted and somewhat surprised that Mr. Snowman had disappeared by the time school was out. Still, it was a magical 30 minutes and as any parent knows; we have to treasure these moments.

Sometimes being a parent is about abandoning all sense of what is right and dutiful (getting dressed, having breakfast, getting ready for school etc) in order to do something silly but fun and certainly memorable. I want my children to grow up and remember that we went out very early in the morning and made snowmen, and chucked snow at each other, just because we could.
What memories are you going to give your children today?

Em, wonderful challenging thoughts, thank you for doing this!! See it's not that hard is it?! And you ARE good at it. Very good.
What fun pictures, it must have been such a giggle. I really agree about letting go and doing mad things with your kids, that's what memories are made of, at least some of them :)
Keep up the good work (blog, kids, snowmen, etc)
