Now for the Fun Part

The four F's in my title are all special to me but today I am writing about FUN!

Today we had a couple of inches of snow here and although that is not a lot it was enough to take a couple of the grandkids out and play in the snow for a while. Since school was cancelled we kept Alex and Aaron while Chris and Cathy worked. At first we didn't think we were going to have enough snow to play in but by mid-afternoon we had some accumulation. It was only in the 20's so we bundled up really good and headed outside. They had fun just shoveling snow for a little while but then they wanted to try sledding. Their friends and neighbors from down the street came up and we all tried to sled down the hill in front of the house. Well, let me clarify something----They, not I, tried to sled. I got to push! The snow we had was kind of a dry snow and didn't pack down too good so the sleds didn't go very well. However, we spent an hour or so having fun trying. Then we tried to make a snowman and the snow didn't want to cooperate for that project either. Alex was able to make a "mini" frosty and we named him Frosty Jr. We then headed inside and unwrapped and then had hot chocolate with marshmallows! I think they liked this part the best!

It was a great afternoon. The only things that could have made it better were if Papa had felt like playing with us (he has a cold) and if Gracie and Seth could have been here too. I am so thankful that the Lord has given me these munchkins to play with and I hope I can stay healthy and active enough to play with them for more years ahead. Being with my munchkins makes me feel ageless!

I just love to view God's world through all the seasons and the snow is especially beautiful. I am always in awe of God's magnificent creation and can never get enough of it. I love to read the account of creation in Genesis . "In the beginning God created the Heaven and the earth..." and I want to be able to enjoy as much of it as I can for as long as I can. Praise you God for your beautiful landscape and for the FUN I have enjoying it with the munchkins!

As I close I will remind you once again to...........grow in your Faith, spend time with your Family, make Fitness a priority and have lots and lots of FUN!
