A Snow Week!

Remember when I said that it never snows when I am around?  Well, that is no longer the case. Not only did it snow early Tuesday morning, but it stayed below 12 degrees for three straight days and then on the fourth morning (this morning) it snowed again.  We have been stuck inside our lovely home for four straight days.  We finally made a break for it a few minutes ago to go to Sonic and to Walgreens.

We have slept late, played games, watched movies, exercised, drank hot chocolate, have bible studies, played super heroes, played on the computer and cleaned house.  I am quite sure I have left something out.  Today the kids finally got to go out and play in the snow.  The sun is out for the first time since Monday and it sure has made a difference in our house today.

We have all realized how much we miss going to school too.  Here are some of our pictures.  Oh and my Walgreens trip was very thought out.  The picture below will show what I bought and I only paid $1.40 and still got back $5 in cash rewards :-)  That made my day!

Andrew is a puppy and Anna is taking him for a walk.

Church was canceled Wednesday because of the icy roads, and the kids literally will cry if we miss church on Wednesday night.  So I created a bible lesson and activity for them.  That seem to work for them.

We studied Hebrews 11:1 and talked about having faith in someone (God) you can't see.  They drew pictures of the wind, air, gravity, a skeleton, and a heart.  These are things Andrew and Anna came up with that you can't see, but you know it is there.


Snowball fight!
