Day 4

What do you do after 3 snow days followed by an inservice day?

Build a huge tent



Poor Olivia has an awful cold which boggles my mind since we were in the house away from all human beings for 3 days?!? Her nose is so raw.

But we are all making the most of it!

Snow Day # 2

So, snow days can get kinda boring when it's too cold to play outside (windchills way below 0.) But Olivia vowed to spend it playing her DS. And, boy, did she ever! She's getting really good at Mario Kart!



Abigail got into a lot of mischief. I caught her getting into my makeup, throwing toilet paper in the toilet, standing on the fireplace with her sister's DS (Olivia must have taken a potty break.).



And talking on the telephone. . .



But the girls really liked their snow ice cream!


And maybe we can play again in the snow sometime soon! (Yesterday was Abigail's first time.)

Never Give Up

Do you ever run across a quote or a saying and it just really strikes a chord with you? That happened to me today.



I can't tell you how many times it seemed easier just to give up. In my mind I thought that if I lost the strength to carry on, God would understand. He knows what we went through. Ryan would understand too because he knows the pain all too well. Olivia, however, would not understand. She deserves the best mom in the world. Sometimes I know that I'm far from the greatest, but Olivia has always single handedly kept me going more times than I can count. Good thing she now has Abigail to help keep their mama going!
