Snow Day!

Oh! We had so much fun on our little snow day. To understand our enthusiasm you have to know that it has been over 12 years since we have had this much snow - and we only had about 4 inches, and even that was gone by lunch. This far South you can't even buy a snow suit! Thus the picture of me below with the thrifted, men's, just-in-case-it-ever-snows suit. LOL! We picked that baby up from the thrift store where all of the snow birds dump their real snow clothes when they move South. Does that suit have 1992 written all over it or what? (Did you know that Southerners call Northerners that move South for the weather "snow birds"? Well we do.) And for a change I wasn't stuck behind the camera! Rae, with her baby bump, had to refrain from rolling in the snow so she took over the picture taking for the day. Yes!
Snow is so magical to us! It looked like fluffy white cotton balls falling, it was beautiful!
Mom and Dad came over to play too and I just loved this picture of my Dad. This is him. Holding a baby (Maddie) in one hand and a camera in the other, wearing an awesome hat, and just going with the flow. Too bad he was standing next to 1992 in this picture. LOL!
The kids played until every last speck of the snow was gone. Poor babies, it only lasted about four hours but we were so happy to at least get it that long! Molly came in once and said, in a very sad voice, "All the snow is gone now Mama". But I had just spotted some on the back deck that they had not seen, so I told her about it and I heard her shout as she ran away "Tim! Maddie! Come on, hurry! Mom said she found more snow on the back porch!" It was so cute!

This first video is of Tim and I flying down the hill on our "sled" face first with him on my back. OK, so the sled isn't really a sled, it's more like a piece of an old tarp that we cut up that morning. But it worked!

This one is of me pushing Tim and Uncle Jake down the hill. I totally push like a girl. And how does Tim end up on EVERY ride down? That little hitchhiker!

And this last one is Molly and I having a roll race down the hill. Boy when I say I got out from behind the camera I meant it didn't I! 1992 wasn't playin was she?

Up in the North we have snow from Dec to March, and by February when we wake up and see another snowflake, we often turn around and crawl back under the covers to hide from it! It is wonderful to be reminded that snow really is another miracle, pretty precipitation sent to help mark our seasons! Thanks for sharing your families enthusiasm!

Cute! We can relate to that love of snow as we go 4 years without it while we are in Peru. Our girls LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it when we were in the States those 6 months and it snowed more than it had since I was a kid! They had been praying for snow. Daddy warned them that while it snows some there in IN that it usually doesn't snow big until January and we were only going to be there thru December. God answered that prayer in a BIG way and it was a great teaching opportunity. They had such fun and I loved seeing them enjoy it so! It brought back sweet memories as I watched your videos...while sitting here in my shorts and flip flops! Ha! :)

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We ...

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I ...

The Family Closet

It's another gray day so the pictures aren't great, but I wanted to get these posted since I have a few minutes. The family closet has changed my life people!! It has taken my most overwhelming chore from crazy to totally doable. We had to start in the laundry room because that is were most of this process starts. These storage racks went on sale for 69$ right after Christmas and we got 3. We also got several of the $3.50 Steralite clothes baskets because they fit side by side perfectly. In the laundry room I now have baskets labeled (Whites, Towels, Darks, Reds & Purples -we have a lot of those!) to separate clothes into, baskets marked "Clean" for clean clothes, a place for storage (extra dish cloths, table cloths, socks that need a mate). The laundry room is much less intimidating now, I actually like going in there! I also now have room for my drying rack in here! I painted a huge henna design on the wall to pretty it up a bit. :) The Caffee sign ...
