Then, she tossed several inches of snow into the mix.<br /><br />Mother Nature, she laughed. We parents, we grumbled. The kids, however, said this Spring Break week couldn't get any better. I mean, come on - five days of perfect playground weather AND enough snow to make snowmen until school starts again on Monday? This, they said, is a plum deal. <br /><br />I'm decidedly a parent these days, but I must agree with the kids on this one. <br /><br />We talked about going on a camping trip for this Spring Break. Unfortunately, we didn't get around to it until after snow made the idea of camping seem more like intense military training than a barrel of monkeys. <br /><br />There was, as with most seemingly dark and murky things, a bright side to this. <br /><br /><a href="http://ttownmoms.com/?page=blogs/view&amp;BLID=7907">Read about our camping "trip" on my blog at Ttownmoms.com</a>.
