Pretty Ugly {Let’s Do 52} | Finally, Snow!!!Okay, this post catches me up on my Project 52, thank goodness. Last week’s theme was “Pretty Ugly”, or finding beauty in the unexpected. So, let me explain a little. When you become a mom, playing in the snow means something very different from when you were little. When I was a kid, my biggest worry was getting a little snow down in my glove or boot and having to fight that cold burn until it melted. Other than that, playing in the snow was easy-peasy. But as a mom, playing in the snow is hard. It means things like five extra loads of laundry, a sopping wet kitchen floor, missing gloves, wet boots, tears after a kid takes a snowball to the face…you know how it goes. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love snow days, but they create a bunch of ugly, extra work. So, there’s the ugly in this week’s theme. The beauty…it is so,very.worth.it. There just isn’t anything better in a kids’ world. And for that, I’ll take all the extra ugly work. To be fair…Sam actually took on all the extras yesterday…even standing out in the cold with the kiddoes. He’s a good guy. A good husband and a good dad. I got to sit inside and catch up with my friend Pam (and drink coffee and eat this cake-which was out of this world) and snuggle with my baby girl…and take a few pictures from the porch. Sam did all the grunt work yesterday. So, thanks Babe!
