Snow Day in December!

Does any one think its funny like me that my blog goes from slippin slide to snow?? Terrible that I haven't blogged in so long but such is life in all of its busyness.

So today we had a wonderful snow day in December (very rarely happens around here). I kid you not when I woke up this morning it was 15 degrees with a wind chill of -1. CRAZY! By the time Jacob and I went outside I think it was a little warmer (I hope).

Its cold but FUN!

Check out mommy's snow angel, pretty good! Apparently snow angels turn out good when you haven't mowed your lawn in a decade. :)

Jacob's snow angel... notice the rain boot. We discovered they double as snow boots well with a few extra pairs of socks!

Drinkin some hot chocolate after the snow. With two bog marshmellows of course!

Such a fun morning!

Equipment

Figure it out for yourself, my lad,
You've all that the greatest of men have had,
Two arms, two hands, two legs, two eyes
And a brain to use if you would be wise.
With this equipment they all began,
So start for the top and say, "I can."

Look them over, the wise and great
They take their food from a common plate,
And similar knives and forks they use,
With similar laces they tie their shoes.
The world considers them brave and smart,
But you've all they had when they made their start.

You can triumph and come to skill,
You can be great if you only will.
You're well equipped for what fight you choose,
You have legs and arms and a brain to use,
And the man who has risen great deeds to do
Began his life with no more than you.

You are the handicap you must face,
You are the one who must choose your place,
You must say where you want to go,
How much you will study the truth to know.
God has equipped you for life, but
He Lets you decide what you want to be.

Courage must come from the soul within,
The man must furnish the will to win.
So figure it out for yourself, my lad.
You were born with all that the great have had,
With your equipment they all began,
Get hold of yourself and say: "I can."
