Simple Joys

Our area is badly in need of snow!  During our family and personal prayers, a plea for more snow and rain to help our crops (not only the garden we'll plant this spring, but for the grass the animals on Grandpa's ranch will need) to grow has been included.

Imagine our huge smiles when our 'bird watching' was interrupted by a spring hail storm, and an inch or so of heavy wet snow!

The two youngest boys didn't waste any time enjoying our answered prayers.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Playground Fun

I went into turbo mode last night around midnight and folded AND PUT AWAY laundry. (Can I get a high five? or just a Five?) I also picked up the floor of our room...why is it the catch-all room? EVERYTHING gets dumped into our room! Between camping gear, to miss-matched socks, candy wrappers, piles of clothes...I can't continue waking up to this! I also decided I was tired of digging through drawers in the boys dresser so I turned on the hall light and re-organized them in the dark...I say re-organized, because I do this about every other week.

Because yesterday we got this:
And the baseball game we bought tickets to was canceled, everyone was going nuts today...we needed to get out!

So, we went to play at a local school's playground that Tanner has been begging to go to...and I've wanted to, as well. Might I say I had just as much fun as the kids? And no, I did not get a snap-shot of myself playing on all of this fun equipment! We had the whole place to ourselves!
