(not sure why--less availability? more expensive? a pain to drive to in the city?) So for all of our huge parks and open spaces here in the 'burbs, there are far less people out in them around here. They are all at soccer practice, I guess.Serhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04902811976034141844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6841705880075847239.post-16032273525097968152008-02-25T23:23:00.000-05:002008-02-25T23:23:00.000-05:00It's snowing here tonight.

But a neighbor had her 2 daughters out frolicking in the fat snowflakes at 9:15 p.m. Their sweet, high-pitched voices floating through the cool night. Even if Max were up, I know I wouldn't have embraced one more night of flurries. Honestly, I know I keep Max indoors when it's convenient for me or for school. My thinking goes like this: If he was out playing in the snow at 9:15 p.m. he would be a train wreck in the morning for school. I feel kind of sad that I can't throw my rules to the wind. Or the snow!marjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01986071450042427095noreply@blogger.com
