We had more snow this weekend. Blah! It isn't horrible it was just snow this time and not the ice. It is also melting quickly. The kids are loving it. Kaitlyn, Tyler and Kylee spent several hours outdoors yesterday and they rolled 3 VERY LARGE snowballs for a snowman, but could never figure out how to stack them. So we have these large snowballs in my yard. It was cute to watch them. Something I can't figure out with my kids and playing in the snow. We have 2.5 acres our house is right in the middle. My kids have lots and lots of yard to play in, but where do they choose to play? Right by the road. As I was watching them yesterday I had images of a car coming down the hill around the corner with no way to stop on the slippery road and plow into my children. This is playing in my mind as our ever faithful old "Nana" type dog is watching her children while standing in the middle of the road. So I made them leave their large snowballs to go and roll some new ones in the backyard.
Today has been a mixed blessing. I woke up with a touch of some stomach bug. Not horrible enough to keep me in bed, but I don't want to wonder far from certain rooms of my house. So my teens make plans to go watch movies with friends (because when the ps have snow days we should too!) My husband took them and the 3 smaller kids to see some of their friends. So I have the house to MYSELF! I am so excited. To top it off I really can't move much without running, so I get to sit and lounge and enjoy the QUIET. I am surfing the net without interuption, and I think I will go read that book that has been sitting collecting dust, or I could put a puzzle together, or watch a movie I want to watch, or.... God is so good.
