Lots of Snow...A Little Sunbeam

This was the picture outside our window on Saturday.

During the night and early in the morning, the wind was blowing like mad. I was afraid the big bad wolf was out there trying to blow our house out of sticks down! About mid morning the wind died down a bit and the snow started falling. It was huge fluffy snowflakes, perfect for snowman making (which we didn't do)! By the time it stopped, we had more snow than I've seen in a long time.

So what did we do during this winter storm?

Jed...he had to work. It's the first Saturday he's had to work. Luckily it wasn't for very long. Later, he took a long winters nap!

As my family can attest to, I am very much a homebody (also referred to as boring)! I'm not one who likes to venture out during insane conditions (or good conditions for that matter). Home is where you would have found me on Saturday. I did go through the toys and put some in a box to donate to the nursery. Although I didn't get rid of a whole lot, it still felt really good!

Nappy decided that she had had her hair color long enough. She battled her way to Sally's and bought some hair color. (Although I tried to get her to stay home and do it a different day.) She spent the afternoon becoming a brunette.



Kody spent his day eating, sleeping, driving, and swinging ...oh ya and smiling!





Lucas played hard, as always! He did lounge around for a bit and requested that we watch Smallville (which we didn't do). He did get to go in the snow for minute when Jed asked him if he wanted to feed Rocky a bone.





Despite the cloudy skies, we do have a shining sunbeam! Lucas went to his first Sunbeam class on Sunday. I had been hoping that Sunbeam's would be a life altering event in Lucas and he would attend his new class WITHOUT a parent present. I think he scared half the primary children with his uncontrollable crying and lack of breathing! I sat through Opening Exercises with him and he seemed to enjoy himself. During Sharing Time he sat with his class on the front row and I sat at the back of the room. He kept checking to make sure I hadn't moved. One time I had stood up to talk to someone and he couldn't see me. He went berserk, but once I told him I wasn't leaving, he went back to sit with his class. The funny part was when they were excusing them to go to classes. He started climbing of the chairs and pushing the people out of the way to get to me. He was crying hysterically again. His poor teachers aren't sure what to do. He said he liked primary so I'm hoping that slowly he'll be able to go by himself.
