Good things

In response to my winter blues, I asked the boys to come up with 20 good things about winter. I always like to having something to look forward to!
1. The anticipation of snow- hoping to make our first snowman together this year
2. Hot cocoa or as we call it "warm chocolate"
3. More visits with family, we hope
4. Playing on the ice in the yard (not sure how this is fun)
5. Making a campfire in the backyard
6. Roasting marshmellows
7. Indoor field trips- museums, especially
8. Fun school projects
9. Hard puzzles and lots of board games
10. The boys' basketball games
11. A good book and a warm blanket
12. Warm desserts like chocolate chip cookies
13. Making paper snowflakes
14. Valentine's day and party
15. Daddy's birthday
16. More time for cartoons, movies and video games
17. Fires in the fireplace
18. Making silly, home-made movies with the camcorder
19. Swimming in the indoor pool for swim lessons
20. Taking the kids ice skating for the first time
Okay, I feel a little better. Deeper thoughts next time!

I had to tell you how much I loved your list that you all came up with! Snow, Hot Chocolate, and Fires in the fireplace are some of our high points too!
