The Flour Incident

Living in the South is hard on children that desperately want Winter to bring snowy weather. One day I found Ava had gone into the pantry and pulled out a bag of flour that was about half full, so we are talking 2.5 LBS of flour and proceeded to dump part of it on the kitchen floor and the remainder on the living room floor, where I found her. She was singing, "It's snowing, it's snowing, the winter winds are blowing." Karsten was sitting in the kitchen, so happy to play in the white stuff. You can't even really get upset, they just genuinely want snow--to make snow angels and snowmen and drink hot chocolate like other children. Besides, it vaccuums right up and you don't even need a hat or gloves on for this variety.
