A bit more rambling...

Some day soon I will get it {whatever "it" is} together and share a thoughtful, captivating post. But until then here's another ramble....By the way, if I were to blog what was really and truly on my mind during these challenging past 2 days, you may never read my blog again! And it's not because I'd say anything bad about anyone, it's just I feel like a mental case and I'd rather organize my thoughts rather than just puke them on you all at the same time - that gets rather messy....

So! on that note....

I made some de-licious! green chili this weekend. I'm addicted to it and trying to find as many things as possible to eat it on. Pizza, eggs, burritos, enchiladas.....It's fabulous! Sadly the kids don't agree but that just means more for me and Mark :)

Here's a picture of our feet (Kate's and mine). I bought some pink slippers while we were up in Denver and she thought they were so much like her fuzzy pink crocs that she asked for a picture. Blurry but it's now a memory we share. Pink shoes that is.
I forgot to mention about our drive home from you know where. Mark got a speeding ticket, Kate peed on her pants during a desperate-pull-over-on-the-side-of-the-road-it's-stinking-freezing-cold-I-can't-believe-you-have-to-pull-down-your-pants-are-you-sure-you-can't-hold-it-a-little-bit-longer-potty stop, and we drove through a terrible ground blizzard. One of the worst I'd ever seen in my 15+ years of driving to Denver and back. You'd be chugging along and then out of nowhere, WIND!, that would blow your car over. And the wind brought tons of snow. So much snow you couldn't see 1 foot in front of your car. So much we were going from 55 to 5mph in about 5 seconds out of fear of hitting someone in the white out. I took a picture just to share with everyone our view out our windshield. This lasted off and on for about 25 miles or so. And yes it was a gorgeous sunny day with blue sky. Not one flake of this snow came from above. It was already on the ground....just rearranging itself.
My laundry (I'm looking for some sympathy here obviously). I just kept unloading the dryer and dumping it on my couch. Then spent an episode and a half of Psych folding it after the kids were in bed.
When it's folded it looses some of the drama....
And because I figured you'd need a picture of my crazy youngest ---- the pirate! This was our first picture attempt.
And our second. And like I posted before, he totally has the boy band hair going on. It's starting to get in his eyes and really bug me. *sigh* Time for WWE haircut. {ya know, World Wrestling Entertainment, and not because of how it will look after we're done it's because of what we will go through to get it done}

It's also been freezing cold down here. It was below zero this morning. But that does not stop my children from eating snow. Here's a shot I took yesterday of Kate and Jack sharing, quite nicely, a hunk of snow. What is it about kids and eating snow?!
That's all for now. My moment to catch up is gone!

God is the God of our yesterdays. He allows us the memory of them so we can turn the past into the ministry for the future.

"I don't think you can explain how Christian faith works. It is a mystery. And I love this about Christian spirituality. It cannot be explained, and yet it is beautiful and true. It is something you feel, and it comes from the soul."
