Snow Day!!!

We had a great snow on Feb. 13. The kids had a blast playing, making snow angels, building a snowman, eating snow cream and more. Enjoy the fun pics of our kids and house covered in snow!

Snow, Attic Sale, More Snow, now 70 degrees!

It has been awhile since I had time to write because I have been consumed by the attic sale at church. It is a HUGE annual event that take up all of my days for a whole week! We had it this past Saturday and as always, it was a great success. One little bump in the week was that it snowed on Wednesday causing everyone to lay low for the morning. Luckily the snow did not keep my parents from coming to pick up my kids for a few days so I could spend all of my time sorting attic sale stuff. It is fun, don't get me wrong, but oh so exhausting!
I am pleased to say that we raised about $2000 for Stop Hunger Now and over $3000 for youth missions. Hooray!!!

So that was Saturday and since then I have been resting, recuperating, cleaning, blah, blah, blah. All I want to do is sleep or go enjoy the beautiful sunshine outside. Did I mention that it has gotten to 70 degrees over the past couple of days? And yep, that is less than a week after a snow. Crazy!!!

Hope to post more later... with some pics and interested things about the kids!

SNOW DAY!!!

What a day to remember!! I am sitting on the couch with my three kids crawling over me. It is snowing outside- the first snow in Charlotte in about 5 years! We have the TV on and are watching the 2009 presidential inauguration of Barack Obama. No matter what side of the political fence you fall, I think we can all say that this is a historical day in the life of our nation.

I just said to the kids... we have a new president. And Sara's response was "what kind of a new president?" Not sure how to answer that question to a 3 year old. Any suggestions?

I don't know where we as a nation are heading, nor do I even care to comment, but I hope and pray that my life will continue to be filled with days like this... days full of laughter, hot chocolate, kids playing in snow, and heart felt memories. I, as many others, are anxious about the days and months ahead of us, but I rest assured that God is and will continue to provide for my family.

OK- enough of my babbling... here are some great pictures of the kids playing in the snow. We enjoyed it! I hope to upload a flip video of them chasing our cat Sasha later this afternoon... it was mighty humoreous!

Here are the twins testing out their boots is the snow.

A little braver...

No fear from Henry... he ran right in!

He didn't like the snow on his hands...
I think we need gloves!
