"School's Cancelled" !! Yes, today was a snow day. I was ready for one mentally and physically.
I took Daniel to New Haven, Indiana this morning for this appointment at 7 am, and all the way home I kept listening to the school closings on the radio...... so I thought I would join them. :)
Noah had so much fun building himself a snowman and watching the big boys.

Ben is usually the one who shovels the walkways for us. He does a great job!

I hope you had a chance to enjoy the snow today as much as we did.

Homemade pizza......YUM!!

Noah helped me make pizza after church. It was so good. He is such a good helper.

We polished off two of these in no time. I'm so happy that for many years we haven't had to order out!! What a blessing.

Joshua and I have been busily working on his quilt for these past few days. He wanted to make one with all of his favorite t-shirts from the past several years. He was able to finish cutting most of them out and lay them out in a pattern last night.

This morning Joshua started sewing the rows together. It was rather challenging to not stretch them out of shape while sewing. We had to use a lot of pins. :)

He was able to sew all the strips together before he went to the Christian school for his English class.

Hopefully we'll be able to finish it this weekend. Have a great day!

Thanks Jennie for the inspiration for a Valentine craft! I must confess that I don't do as much crafting as I would like to. When Erika was home I think we engaged ourselves more in the area of crafts than I do with the boys. :( I took an old red t-shirt and cut it into strips about two inches long.

Noah and Benjamin are tying the strips to a heart that I made from an old wire coat hanger.

And here is their beautiful heart! I think they did a great job.

Gather your children together and make a Valentine craft today. Check

I was up early this morning going through my routine........then I heard little footsteps coming down the stairs. Noah jumped on my lap and we cuddled for a while. We drank coffee and just talked. I colored a picture with him till the older boys woke up. We had a good morning, just Noah and me!! Kim

This is what happens when you ask your husband to bring up all the dried beans in the pantry. I was busy for 9 hours today canning 39 quarts of beans. It was a long day, but it will be so nice to be able to pop open a can, add some browned ground beef and tomatoes and make a big pot of chili.

Great day overall!!

Boy am I tired!! I painted the bookshelf Sat. evening while everyone was asleep. We then loaded books all day today. I'm so glad this project is finished. I think Larry and the boys did a wonderful job. Love those men of mine.
