The First Snowfall of the Season

The first snowfall conjures up images of a magical time, a time of enjoyment and bliss, a time when people of all ages are like kids playing in the soft whiteness. Did I mention fact that we live in the south? The deep south? And the fact that I'm overwhelmed in papers, files, and excess documents everywhere? Stuff that must be shredded.

So welcome to our first snowfall of the season...my style!



We had a blast, but what was even more fun was the following night. I shredded about ten times more paper, and had two more kids joining in the fun. Of course I forgot to take pictures until halfway through cleaning time. Some things I will stage to get a good picture, but five garbage bags of confetti does not qualify. I guess you just have to take my word for it...it was so much fun and so much mess!

I think Babiest decided to hide some for later. I've found handfuls in a couple of different drawers, a pot, his closet, and the Little People Farm (I'm guessing for animal bedding since we've lost the hay bale). I doubt I've found all hiding places because some kept appearing today, but I never found the stash. Too bad it doesn't melt and disappear. I wonder how long I'll find paper shreds in hidden places...
