Here in Michigan, the weather is constantly changing. Big snowstorms, then it melts completely away and we get an ice storm. Now we're hoping the ice melts before the next snowstorm due in tomorrow night. Oh well, at least the sun shines occasionally.</p>Amy LeForgeWed, 07 Jan 2009 00:05:23 -0000http://www.earnestparenting.com/2008/02/09/blizzard2008/#comment-21214264<p>Great photos. Your kids are so cute and I love their nicknames.</p><p>We also had record breaking snow recently, in fact I've been totally snowed in for 2 weeks. We don't usually get much snow and this is the worst I've seen since living here (West. Wa) for 21 years. Today was my first venture out and the roads were terrible.</p><p>Makes me really appreciate you folks where winters and long and harsh.</p>Val GarnerSat, 27 Dec 2008 22:09:43 -0000http://www.earnestparenting.com/2008/02/09/blizzard2008/#comment-21214262<p>@PreSchool Mama: It's 2 below zero out right now and we're expecting a heat wave-up to 19 degrees tomorrow...I'd gladly trade you the snow for the heat.</p><p>@Cindy: Ooooooh, 60! I would love to see 60 again. :) That would mean I could be out playing in the flowers!</p><p>@Robert: thanks! I was walking backwards snapping away and it was so cool to see I caught that little smile.</p><p>@Jan: I often insist that coats and hats be carried along with us when we're out and about. I've had people ask rather pointed questions about how the boys were dressed for various weather situations. For the most part I let them make their own choices. Today however, they had to bundle up. Did I mention it was cold???!?</p>Amy LeForgeMon, 11 Feb 2008 23:38:01 -0000http://www.earnestparenting.com/2008/02/09/blizzard2008/#comment-21214261<p>This is so cute. I especially love the picture and comment of your son who didn't do up his coat or put on snowpants.</p><p>I guess kids are the same everywhere, mine all went through that stage. My son is 17 now and does up his coat, and wears snow pants when snowboarding but went a whole winter refusing to wear a coat, just a heavy sweatshirt - brings back memories (my 10 year old daughter now tries to go to school in her thin running shoes but can be convinced to wear her boots because their pink and kind of funky, thank goodness)</p>Jan - queenofkaosMon, 11 Feb 2008 19:29:02 -0000http://www.earnestparenting.com/2008/02/09/blizzard2008/#comment-21214260<p>I like your last photo! You've caught a nice expression!</p>Robert @ reason4smileSun, 10 Feb 2008 11:19:16 -0000http://www.earnestparenting.com/2008/02/09/blizzard2008/#comment-21214259<p>What a wonderful family day. We had 60 degree weather, so no snow here which is fine for me.</p>CindySun, 10 Feb 2008 09:02:16 -0000http://www.earnestparenting.com/2008/02/09/blizzard2008/#comment-21214258<p>Too cute! It doesn't snow where I am from, so pics like these always make me envious...</p>PreSchool MamaSat, 09 Feb 2008 09:34:52 -0000
