Snow days...followed by sick days...hmm...

This past weekend we went to Mt. Hood with family. We played in the most snow I had ever seen! The kids loved it! They screamed and laughed and enjoyed their snow-covered selves! We played until everyone got to cold to enjoy it any longer. Grace pee-peed in her snow suit, so her and I went to the car before anyone else, but that's okay, we enjoyed sitting and singing together in the warmth of the car, while the others threw snowballs at each other and went plodding around in the snow.

It's amazing to me as I read other people's blogs that they are swimming and sunbathing and all that crazy stuff! Wow! It's still freezing here! I can't even imagine what it would be like to actually show off any legs here in shorts or something without blinding someone with my white, goose bump covered legs! Eigh!

Well, here we are on Thursday, following our playing in the snow weekend, and Bailey has a fever and sore throat. Poor thing. So I am home with her and Ryan and Grace today. It' s nice to enjoy them though. I have really missed spending time with them, so I wasn't disappointed when Bailey's thermometer read 100. I simply thought, we will just have to snuggle together today....but I do wonder how my substitute is getting along with my students...

Spending time with your children is priceless...even when mine are screaming at each other and begging for marshmallows right after they have had breakfast, I still think, you are precious to me...sometimes you can't have everything you want, but you are soooo precious! Do you think that is how God feels about you and me, too? Maybe... ;)
