Yesterday was a big change for me. DH took the older two girls to their dentist appointments in the morning so that I didn't have to go into town twice in one day. He had to go do the base shopping anyway. I took advantage of the morning by cleaning house (vacuuming all the floors, doing the dishes, cleaning the girls' rooms, washing and folding laundry...etc). 3dd2 watched Dora while I cleaned. Then I made some peanut butter chocolate chip cookies - mmm!
Right after lunch (30 minutes after the girls got back), we loaded the van to go to town. We had to pick up checks from WIC, 3dd2 had a well-baby visit with the doctor, 2dd7 had an ear check (she was complaining of one being "clugged"). We went to Denny's for supper, but had to end up taking our food with us because we didn't have enough time to eat it. Finally we went to the girls' choir practice.
Needless to say, we didn't get much schoolwork done. I just have to breathe and tell myself that it is okay. My girls won't be academically stunted when days like this happen!
It started raining when we got to town, and continued to rain the whole time we were there. On our way home, halfway up the mountain, the rain turned to snow and started to accumulate a bit. It was getting dark, but we could still see it to enjoy the "first snow" of the year.
It is snowing again now. The girls love it. They've been hoping for snow ever since we got back from Guatemala! Now I've got to find some good used snowsuits since they both wore theirs out last year!
Enjoy that snow for me!! My girls would love to see snow too but it has only happened once in the 38 years I have lived here so I don't see it happening any time soon. We can still hope though :-)
Wow! I'm not ready for snow yet. I like the changing weather, but I like it a little slower. I'm enjoying the cool evenings and mornings here - jacket weather, not snowsuits. :o)
Snow! Ack!
I do love the white stuff, but I'm just not ready yet. We don't have enough wood split! About another month and we may start to have it...I've seen it on Trick-or-Treat night in past years. Hope the girls enjoy it--oh to be a kid and embrace what adults dread. :O)
I'm not ready for that yet either. Of course we usually only have a few snow days in January, so we don't have to worry about that yet. We are definitely enjoying the cool mornings though.
When reading about your lifestyle, as far as where you live it is so similiar to mine. We live up on a mountan at 3000 ft elevation. We get snow before anyone else, of course. We have to climb down this mountain to go anywhere. It is starting to get pretty cold up here, but we don't NORMALLY get snow until the end of October or first part of November, then it doesnt leave until March or sometimes April.
One thing have I desired of the Lord that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. To behold the beauty, the beauty of the Lord. To inquire in His temple, the temple of the Lord.
This is my everyday thoughts about being a mother to three little ladies (12, 10 and 5) and a three year old son. We serve God full-time, and I am a physician assistant. I have the most awesome husband in the world. I am trying to seek and serve God with all my heart, all my soul, all my mind and all my strength.
