Snow Day

In the 13 years my husband and I have lived in this state, there have only been 3 snow days.  And that number includes yesterdays.  I skipped my 5am workout so Hubby could get on his way to work earlier than normal, before traffic became completely insane.  His typical 20 minute drive took 35 mins.  Not too bad considering if he would have left at his typical time, he would have been in the car for at least 1 hour.  Anyway, Hubby left at about 5:50.  The phone rang at 6.  "This is *****, superintendent with ***** district # ****.  Classes have been cancelled today............"  I instantly knew the kids would be super excited.  When I heard Sassy turn the shower on at 6:40 I bolted to her bathroom and yelled through the door "NO SCHOOL"  The squeal and "happy dance" she broke into made my day :)

Well, snow day means snow so while the Sassy and Action played with neighborhood friends, Smiley and I got to work.  We piled on the snow gear:


and got busy shoveling
(fine, she shoveled, I took pictures ~ ha)

Lifting with her knees ~ good girl!




After shoveling the front entry, a strip from the entry down the driveway and half of the front sidewalk, we figured "Daddy" could just use the snow blower when he got home from work, and decided it was time to play, be goofy....


and make snow angels


What a perfectly lazy, smile filled snow day!

Something to Think About Sunday ~ The Greatest Gift


The Greatest Gift

Last Wednesday, I was driving with Sassy and Action.

We happened to drive past a cemetery.

Action expressed that "so many people have died."

Sassy replied, "But Action, the people who have died, have received the greatest gift!"



Picture a confused look on Actions face
(after all, those people are dead, how can they get a gift?)


She continued, explaining,
"They are alive, in heaven with God.
Their bodies are buried, but their souls are in heaven, and God has made them new!
They can't come down to earth, but they can watch over all of their loved ones!
See Action, it's the GREATEST GIFT!"

I just drove, smiling because it is a Great Gift, and she understands it so well, even at 9 years old.

They told me I would forget...

I haven't. And it's been 2 years.

I remember everything.

How I knew.

What I ate for supper that night.

Who I called.

The fear I felt.

The sadness I felt.

The questions I asked.

Why?

The Wait. The end.

Just know Little Angel...
You are NOT forgotten.
