Frosty Mornings...

I love frosty cold mornings...except for the fact that I don't plan ahead for them. I love waking up to the crisp cool air. Invigorating! Except, I don't remember to go and start the car ahead of time, to warm it up for the kids. Then I don't leave enough time to scrape the windows. So, in a hurry, I scrape with my flimsy gift cards. In a flurry of ice flying off the window onto my chilly fingers and frosted face, I see the kids making faces at me through the window. Breathe. Smile. Make a funny face...Hurry! 5 minutes behind, we leave for school. Ahhhh! Invigorating...nervousness...heart racing...I hate being late. But, ohhh, I just have to stop a second and soak in the beauty all around me. The stillness in these pictures are so opposite to the rush I feel in comparison. I'm glad I have these pictures to remember these mornings...I'm glad I have a field of grass across from me, instead of a field of houses! I'm glad I have these awesome kids! I hope they remember the feelings of these pictures instead of the feelings of rush I create.
