The Mad Chatters thread Part 5

[paigevz]

That's more like it!! SNOW...snow on the ground in October? PERISH THE THOUGHT! ISH ISH ISH!!

I love having left the snow belt. We used to own an assortment of shovels, deicers, a snowblower and at one point (when we had a long drive) a plow attachment....now, we don't even own a shovel!! Oh the joys of living further south.

Funny but true story. Our (at the time) sons who were 5 and 3 had not really been old enough when we moved from WI to remember the snow we used to always have there. Our oldest remembered it but in the time since we had moved we had only had a flurry or two, nothing of any note and rarely did it even stick to the ground.

WELL...we took them back over Christmas two years ago to WI and I had been talking about getting to play in the snow for a few weeks prior to our trip. Well, we get there and stop at a drug store to pick up the toothbrush that I forgot to pack...as we walk into the store the kids scream "SNOW" and point to a pile of white stuff in the corner of the entry way. NOPE, my kids didn't see snow, they had found a small pile of salt!!

When we told my family about that they threatened to take our children away and give them a "real life". I guess living in the south and having your kids confuse salt with snow is considered a form of child abuse "up there".

Well, it sure does make it hard to teach about the seasons!!! OUr kids are supposed to know about fall and winter, when all they experience is Spring and Summer and a few wet dark months in between.....................

We take our kids to Oklahoma to play in the snow..............

Hey I thought you were leaving. Well just keep my goodbye for when you do leave.

 

[paigevz]

Paige I sure do hope you get to feeling better!! If you do stay home tomorrow make sure you come out and play! I will be busy teaching in the morning..but I will pop on around lunch to see if you made it.

FEEL BETTER!! Between you and Bonnie I am gonna need a new stash of this stuff pretty soon...

However, all things considered? I would rather share it with you both then most anyone else! SO...use it to get better. That's an order. *given in a tone full of respect since you ARE my elder*

BRAT!!!

Okay, that's the best comeback I can think of in my state.............

Hi everybody!!! How are things?

Hi .

 

[paigevz]

Hey I thought you were leaving. Well just keep my goodbye for when you do leave.

I can't tear myself away...................I promised my mother I'd call her back and I am putting it off. My head is REALLY gonna hurt after that.............

 

[paigevz]

Hi Mary, how old are you?

 

[willis37862]

I can't tear myself away...................I promised my mother I'd call her back and I am putting it off. My head is REALLY gonna hurt after that.............

I know about that. I just talked to mine for 10 minutes...blah blah blah... even though I told her I was watching something I didn't want to miss and what she was telling me she had already told me.........

 

[willis37862]

Hi Mary, how old are you?

I wonder how many chatters you have scared away with that question.

 

[paigevz]

I wonder how many chatters you have scared away with that question.

i dont care i must find someone older than i am

 

[jaycns]

JAYCNS you mean your kids NEVER made a snowman....For shame.
I love playing in the snow and would miss it. Yeah right.

They now have! But we only had two days of snow last year and both times the snow was gone by lunch. THAT is the kind of snow I like now that I am older!

When I was younger (for some strange reason) I actually did love all kinds of snow. A snow day was actually rare in WI, you could have three feet of snow and schools were still in session...the only way school got out was 2 feet or more between the hours of 3AM and 6AM cause the plows wouldn't have time to get the roads open for the buses or temp. lower then -10. I used to LOVE snow days. We would spend all day long outside building forts, jumping into snow piles and having snow ball fights...also, making snow cones with real snow, snow angels, sledding, building snow castles, snow men. Ahh...that's why I liked snow...but no thanks...I will take sand on a tropical beach for all of my building and sculpting needs these days!!

Good one...uhh...yeah...good one.

What time do you need to call your mom by?

 

[mom2taylorandemily]

Well not too bad, my knee is swollen from my fall yesterday, but other than that I had a good day. How was yours?

YOUR QUEST IS COMPLETE!!

 

[mom2taylorandemily]

Call me the party pooper, but I don't like snow!!! That is why I left NY and moved back to VA, we only get a few small snows a year, and sometimes none at all.
