"It's Like The Whole World Is For Kids When It Snows" -Greta






It snowed all day Sunday without much accumulation and then through last night.  By this morning we had about 2 inches of snow--enough to really enjoy dragging your feet through.  It was perfect snowman snow and Emery built an enormous snowball at school during recess.  The most fun by far though, was the walk to school while the snow was still falling.  I couldn't make myself rush Greta as she made snow angel after snow angel even though I knew we'd be late for breakfast at school.  The snow is the best part of winter in Berlin--how could I begrudge a few snowballs???  Throughout the day it alternated between snow and rain and the evening walk home was not nearly so special.  I hear that it will be -8 degrees by morning and that everything is expected to be ice.  I'm just glad I don't drive.  Anyone noticing that I seem to only post when there's snow?  That should tell you all you need to know about the other winter days here in Berlin.
