Fun with a Ribbon

So the other day Nate found this little green ribbon hanging around the house. He has been playing with it a lot lately. The first thing that he did was to hook it into the top of his shirt and say "yook mommy, I'm ready to go to church." (because it was a tie.)Then today he draped it over his head and said, "yook mommy, I'm a girl." I asked him why he was a girl, if it was because he had long hair, and he said no, so I asked him if it was because he had a ribbon in his hair, and he said yes. So even though we don't have any girls around here to put ribbons in their hair, he still knows about that some how.

In other news it is snowing out there today. This could be the most snow that we have had all winter so far. There is about a quarter inch on the deck. Quarter inch is actually quite a liberal assessment. But it's still coming down, so we'll see how it turns out. The driveway and sidewalks are completely covered, and the road has snow on it. This year I didn't get the kids new snow stuff. I mean, we have old stuff that fits Graham, but we are using a hand me down jacket this year, so I never went out and got some snow pants for Nate, and we never got boots either. I guess now is the time to start looking for those things for next year. The problem is that I had a tiny baby last year at this time, so I never got a chance to go out and check out the sales. So I guess if we have enough snow then I can see if last years stuff still fits him. He's pretty small, and it would not be the first time in the last week that he had worn a 2T.

So there is our fun situation today. Snow snow snow, but we have a ribbon to keep us occupied.
