But what I am thankful for is a good ol' workout shoveling the snow. That has got to burn off at least a thousand calories, right? Burn off that half bag of Tositos, right? I don't know, but that's what I tell myself.
In addition to getting my big ol' booty off the couch, shoveling is a way to hang out with the boys outside. I get to be the hero by pushing that white puff into big piles for them. Then what is created it entirely up to them. So far this year, we have had the simple sled hill and also the pile made into snowball forts, inspired by the watched-the-night-before movie of "Elf". They just love that part where Buddy is a snowball-throwing machine, attacking the bullies and making them fall over! That scene, and the burp for like 30 seconds scene.
So, enjoy the winter, the snow. Enjoy the fishtails and the donuts. Enjoy the bitterness of the chilly wind that takes your breath away. Just be thankful you have breath, be thankful you can drive, be thankful you can see. And I am thankful I can shovel. Enjoy the snow, the winter.
