What do you think......too much?

So this is what Mathis came home from school with, he made it at his Valentine Party, and I think he put every possible topping on this cookie! His teacher told him he had to wait until he got home to eat it (thanks Teach!). So of course he dug right in, but about halfway through he couldn't handle anymore and asked to save it for later. So the next day, there it sat, nice and hard. It just grossed me out to look at so I asked him if he wanted to finish it or should I just toss it. I think he was just as sick of looking at it as I was and relieved not to finish it, he let me throw it out!

Why did God create Snow?

I get that the earth needs moisture...to help sustain life, make everything green and beautiful. But God could've just stuck to rain for that right? Well, I believe that the reason he created snow, was for this...


And this...

And this...


While James was manning the snow-blower, and I the shovel...I'm cursing this heavy, wet snow, thinking about my sore back...I look over to see Mathis jumping in front of the snow being shot out of the snow-blower, with a huge grin on his face as the snow hits him and covers him from head to toe...oblivious to the cold. Then Hayden hops on the sled and yells to Mathis to pull him down the street, Shadow at their heels, off to go sledding. I then forget my aching back and say to myself, it's all worth it...this must be why God created snow!

A Work in Progress!!

I can't believe how difficult this has been to get set up! So bare with me a bit and hopefully there will be pictures and actually blogging going on soon! Any help/advice? Thanks!
