Still Snowing...........



It is still snowing pretty hard here and it looks just gorgeous!! The kids got another snow day and were thrilled. Our day consists of playing outside today going sledding, making a snowman, and making tons of snow angels! Here is a glimpse of what it looks like here....


Along with our day we will be having some of these for dessert=)

Hopefully I will get some really great pictures on here later or tomorrow of the kids outside playing. Have a fun Snow Day=)

Snow Days.....


Okay so I have been praying that we would get a really good snow and yep....you guessed it! We got snow=) I LOVE snow!! I love winter! So along with the snow came a snow day for the kids. They were hoping for a snow day and went to great lengths at making sure they did what it took to make this happen. They all slept with their pj's inside out and they each turned around three times. Ha! They were amazed when they woke up and realized that it actually worked!
So this morning mainly consisted of all of us sleeping in, a later breakfast of cheesy scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast, and playing. They are all doing their thing from watching a movie, to playing with their DS to playing barbies. I have been able to get a few things done along with checking email, reading my favorite blogs, and doing my run. Days like this I love because it forces us to slow down with no guilt;)
We have a few things planned today of games, hide-n-seek, to all of us making a dinner of nachos and cheese with all the trimmings. I LOVE snow days!!

That's what I love about Sunday...

Sunday for my family means Sunday school and church, big family dinner, down time, football, playing games, naps, and just plain taking it easy. With a big family we always have something going on somewhere with someone. I learned early on that we NEED this day just as the Lord had planned it to be.......a day of rest. That's what I love about Sunday=)

What I'm looking forward to.....


On Febuary 2 I will be at this site bright and early for their grand opening. I have read over the site and love what they stand for. I'm excited and hope to see you there too!!
“But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine: that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience; the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things— that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed. Titus 2: 1-5

Time for a change.....

Okay, so about this time every year I start getting the urge to change something. January is a long month for me and I start thinking of doing some project here in the house. Something easy that I can handle. It could be anything from decluttering to moving furniture around to maybe even adding a fresh coat of paint. It just makes me feel good! Once I get a room done it usually motivates me to tackle other projects. Here is my formal living room that I have just added a fresh coat of paint and I just love the color........Pine Needle. What do you think?
