Old Man Winter Strikes Again! ..or Why God Made Teenagers

The girls had a snow day today!  They were so excited!  I guess all that wishing and finger crossing paid off!  I really can't complain; it is the first snow day of this school year.  I'd say we're not doing too shabby this winter. 

Of course, with snow days comes shoveling and Operation Why God Made Teenagers.  Becca was such a trooper!  She shoveled our driveway TWICE and then tackled the neighbor's drive.  I was so proud of her!  She had the best attitude all day long.  I think it's because of all that hard work and the warm fuzzies she got from doing something kind for somebody else. 

More family fun in IL

It feels good to be home.  We started the morning off shoveling a bunch of snow and then pretty much relaxed the rest of the day.  You would think we'd have ran out of things to talk about by now but not so much!  Guess that's what happens when you wait to long to come back home.  We've been here for a few days and I certainly hope that old adage is not ringing true....you  know what they say about company and fish--they both start to stink after a few days! ;)   Anyway, because we did not make it back for Christmas, we exchanged gifts this visit.  It was just as fun watching the girls open their gifts in February as it would have been in December.  Sara's gift to Lela was the biggest hit!  It was a Moxy Girl Fashion Style It Head (morbid sounding but proven fun!)  Here is an image of Lela opening her head. (hahahahaha)
