more snow arrived as we slept.

it’s beautiful and shiny new and exhausting with all the

sliding, tromping, building, shoveling, throwing, & just breathing it all in.

my kids minds are still all abuzz from it’s allure

long after their bodies are happy and ready to sit.

so we flip ottomans

rev up our respective

imaginations

and go, go, go

to  places both far

and wide.

see the big turn being made here?

that’s because he decided

his youngest sis

was ‘driving’ much too slow

so he morphed his ‘car’

into a ‘rocket’.

‘you really have to

turn the wheel

on a rocket’, he tells me.

as simultaneously

his sister

was doing her best

to go faster.

‘see mama’,

she said,

‘see my hands?

i’m going so fast!’

if only my hands

moving fast

today

could have caused

my thoughts and muscles

to follow suit.

i would have been

much more productive,

but i sure did enjoy the trips we took in the ottomans this morning.
