Why do the snow days always fall on the days I work?   I know, I'm being selfish, but, just because school is off, doesn't mean you get to skip work.  People are still sick, so I must work. Even though I don't want to.  Don't think I'm knocking a snow day.  I want the kids to be home and safe, I just want to be with them.  With all honesty, I must say, I left for work with some strong words.  Something like, "don't watch that STUPID TV all day, it'll rot your brain! And clean up this house."    I don't mind a little tv, (however some of those shows drive me nuts), but if they are doing NOTHING, how can they TRASH the house?!?!?!?!
So when I came home to this...........................I was happy!

Playing, having fun.  Snow, snowmobiles, sleds, hot chocolate.  It's nice they are getting older, can hang out with the neighbors, and have fun.  I had to explain, I am OK with a messy house if you are playing, getting along and having a good time.  Completely different than killing brain cells watching the boob tube.

Our other past time...........basketball.  Ash and Megan are playing.  They are having fun and learning lots.  Its fun to watch Steve get into the game.  He doesn't yell too much, as Ashley gages it, "dad doesn't yell as much as Grandma blueberry."   Hehehe, oh she wishes she was home to root them on. 

 

It was brought to my attention next week is Feeding tube awareness.  Everyone has to have a week, right?  But since I saw it, and feeding tubes are near and dear to our hearts, I had to post this picture. Brooke is tube free for a year now, and still going like a champ!  There is hope for many.  We are greatful Brooke had her feeding tube that got us to this point.  

Tonight Steve took the girls out snowmobiling.  Brooke hung back.  I asked her if she wanted to go.  She said, "no it's too cold."  I said, "how do you manage at school?"  She said, "Oh I have so much fun I forget I'm cold and then I just deal with it."  So she watched the snowmobile come and go and then I saw her putting her stuff on.  She couldn't resist, which is what I love!! 

 You don't get a view like this from inside.  God's awesome creation!!!  How can you not believe in our Amazing God?!?!
