SNOW SNOW SNOW!!



SUNDAY MORNING WAS SO ICY! The phone rang at 7:45 am and we could not find any of our three phones--so on the answering machine Pastor John said he as cancelling church -we were teaching children's church tooo! So another fun lazy day at home!! Gretchie wanted to see her friends so we told her it was too icy! I cooked Gretchen eggs ,toast raisins and yes BACON!!! Thought daddy would want some but he made his own eggs after he "chisled the ice "off the walks and driveay a bit! He used the garden hoe! It was still raining ice!! Daddy took Gretchen iceskating on the patio--SHE LOVED IT AND SAID MORE ICESKATING!! We warmed the car up and made our way to WalMart about 11:30 am with all the other hundred people----we had no eggs no bread or milk for Lee!! Came home and put "G" down for a nap by 1:15 pm!! WE WATCHED PART OF A MOVIE--it was so relaxing sitting watching the snow fall fast and furious here in our area which is so unusual!!! It had started about ten am and snowed until 7 pm-- -I did start laundry and thawed some hamburger for dinner!

I don't just sit for no reason!!! "G" woke up and we all bundled up to go out in the snow---Daddy looked out and our SATURN had slipped down the driveway and was partly in the street!!! He had to shovel us out---Gretchie and mommy started to make a snowman--when she went to put the nose on it --She says mommy just like a heffalump!!! OH that child dreams of elephants!!! So our snowman turned into a heffalump---soooo cute!! I guess I will have to have a heffalump birthday cake in October!!! If I can make one out of snow---cake should not be that much harder---ya right!!! My fingers ere frozen I had to run hot water on them--OUCH! Plus her snowboots (size 6) she wore at the cabin before Christmas were to SMALL! The only other pair I had were size 10!! Poor G just stood and patted the snowman and put rocks on--she could not move or the boots would fall off----I did have them ted up around her leg!! She then decided mommy I will just sit --she said! HAHA!! We came in and watched BABBAR the elephant again and I asked her if she wanted hot chocolate (which she had never had!) She explains I LOVE HOT CHOCOLATE!!! Maybe just the sound of chocolate--they learn that fast!!! Daddy came in and G made the RED juice and I made tacos for dinner! Playtime and then bed at 8:15--she would have gone to sleep but she heard daddy say on the phone downstairs asking Nana for recipe for snow icecream! I then got her up because I too wanted to make it!! IT WAS YUMMY AND FUN!!!

When I put her back down at 9:15 she was asleep by 9:40-----------
