Snowed In!

Granted, Alabama's version of "snowed in" is a rather far stretch compared to most of the country's definition of that phrase! Still, we've resolved to do our excercising in creative ways at home and just enjoy the snow, fires and staying home. Let me just say two things about today before I close:

This is by far the wettest snow I have ever seen! It really hurt when Andrew threw a snowball at me, just because of the density of the water in it!

Secondly, as yummy as roasted marshmallows are, I have discovered that roasted strawberry marshmallows are even better!

Our little Life

Whew! I apologize for being so neglectful of posting! I know we've been boring you all to tears! It's been a rather busy four weeks or so! Lots of colds and illness and trips to the doctor for all four of us, for starters, has consumed a lot of our time. I think we are all better now. We've also been trying to be much more active and eat a lot healthier. As a result, I have lost 6 pounds, and Andrew had too much fiber and not enough water which resulted in stomach pain and a trip to the Urgent Care doctor's office! Go figure.

I continue to be blessed by our babysitter Dorothy, giving me a break on Thursday afternoons to shop, keep doctor appointments for myself and generally just have a little break from the daily routine. She loves the kids, they love her and I always come home to a very clean house! I love it!

Here are a few pictures of the last few weeks. Dorothy dressed Hannah up in the cowgirl outfit...though it is 3 sizes too big, she was too cute for words! And the SNOW! We awoke to the snow, in what is being called one of the biggest storm systems since the blizzard of '93. However, I'm pretty doubtful we'll really see more than 3 inches here. I know everyone from central Mississippi to Georgia and down to the panhandle are getting the snow. Enjoy it! I know we plan to after we do a little spelling and math! My poor children! They don't know that everybody else is out of school today and I make them do work! We have to miss, though, for various other doctors appts and trip to the grocery store, so it all evens out!

Enjoy the snow and your extended weekend!

SNOW!!!

Well, as in several other states in the southeast right now, it is snowing in Alabama! It's been snowing since about 5:30 this morning and hasn't stopped! Though, it is not sticking as it did this morning for a little while when it was still below freezing. The wind has been blowing at 20-30mph, if you can believe it. The kids enjoyed playing before church! I did my best not to be too much of a nagging mother as I told them not to get their church clothes dirty! Andrew's pants were soaked anyway, so we just put on a different pair of khakis. They had fun, but were freezing!

Considering that yesterday and Friday, severe thunderstorms and tornados were passing through Montgomery and surrounding counties, and the temperatures were over 75 much of the time, the snow is just another weird weather phenomonon to add to our weekend!
