Wow. You covered a lot of ground in one day. I hope the grandparents got heat and light back quickly and yours stays intact.

One of my friends in DC is calling it Snowpocalypse, I think she was assuming she was moving away from it when she headed that way.

That was quite a day ! It’s sad about the trees. You really had great conversations ! I’m happy you still have electricity.

Deep stuff. I am constantly amazed at how complex the thought processes of children can be. Enjoy your time together. Snuggle, bundle and drink more hot cocoa!

I think it’s hard to convey that some things are impossible/impractical to children of a certain age. (Like driving 12 miles in 2.5′ of snow – neither practical or possible until roads are cleared)

My daughter doesn’t get to play with the nesting dolls – my husband got them on his last trip to Afghanistan in 2003, and we doubt that they were concerned about whether there is lead in the paint. Guess we can avoid that conversation for a while yet!

Although the issues might be heavy, it’s probably better to have that than cabin fever. Glad you still have power – hope the grandparents get theirs restored soon.

just the image of the barren doll had me in tears. I physically hurt at the idea of a child knowing that kind of sadness.
beautiful and amazing and haunting post.

Wow. Out of the mouths of children.
And a whole lot of snow. Hope your power holds out.

I don’t know what to say except that I enjoyed reading this post and I’m glad everything turned out fine despite the snowstorm. I find it amazing what comes out of children’s mouths…sometimes this is one of the things I crave the most when dealing with IF – that I don’t know when I can listen to their “wisdom” and share it with the whole world.
