a snow day

so we got hit with the blizzard of 2011 around here. while i'm not so sure it was the "epic storm of the decade" it was pretty impressive, but lacked about 10 inches of snow! we were snowed in here on the hill. a plow made one lane on our road early this morning and our local plowing friend dug out our driveway.

so while we were home for a day here are some pics of our fun:


whiz boy cuddled under the blanket with oscar....although he was reading up on log cabins for his pioneer project!


princess munched on her pizza and raisins while reading still in her pajamas at lunch time:)


and of course some valentines cookies!!

we also:

- made caramel corn
- lost twice in blokus to whizboy
- successfully sunk all his battleships
- made a grocery list
-shoveled out our cars (well hubby did that)
-made brownie pudding cake with princess for dessert
-watched a show on the lincoln highway
-watched the news over and over and over
- watched a hawk eat the mouse he caught in our front yard
- saw 3 deer walk down our road
-made pizza for lunch
- yelled HOORAH!! when the 2-hour delay call came!!

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
