Cold and Grace :-)

We are experiencing a cold snap! Brrrr. Yesterday when I went jogging, I only had a little hole to look out of. My head was hot, my nose was cold, and the rest of me was ok. I had to jog on the road, because our driveway still wasn't plowed, and I didn't want to jog through the snow.

The boys enjoyed some time outdoors, but not too long with the cold. The older girls were at work all afternoon, so they just experienced the weather to and from the car and house. Darling is loving the snow! She laughed and laughed outside and plopped in the snow with glee written all over her face. So cute!

I'm happy for the kids who enjoy the snow, but this is not my favorite season with all the snow boots, snow pants, snow coats, hats, scarves, and mittens all over the mud room. Our coat closet is really too small for our family, so it is constantly spilling out in the winter. Plus, when they come in from the snow, it has to dry first laying around the mudroom. Lord, please give me grace for this season.

I hear you! It is much easier when you can just go outside - no shoes needed. You are so brave going jogging...I only go out when I HAVE to. Kassie got new boots and my Mom took her out for a little while on Sat. Mom said she loved her boots too much that she kept looking at them and not where she was going and so she kept falling.:)
