"We need our snowboots!"









Oh, the sheer joy and utter excitement of the first real snowfall....


You know, enough that the kids can actually romp through it, eat it, lay and make snow angels, scream and squeal when the cold powder touches their warm skin....


That's exactly what these monkeys did Saturday morning as soon as they awoke and saw the fresh, white blanket on the ground beckoning for them to "Come play!"
It took just a quick glance outside and then in a frantic plea they all yelled,"We need our snow boots!"

Again at the top of their anxious lungs, "Mom, dad, we need our snow boots!"

They were desperate. They needed them now, without a second to spare.
So, they were dug up and tossed from the winter bin, shoved, pulled, and pushed on to their little feet....... in seconds flat.

Forget about changing out of their pajamas.
Forget about wearing hats and gloves,
heck...forget about wearing a COAT!

as long as....

They had their snow boots!
