"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Snow, snow, snow

Yesterday we went in search of snow.  We have NO SNOW in our valley.  Thankfully, we live close to a hill/mountain that does.  The kids were almost asleep before we got there (they stayed up kinda late for new years eve)  We found snow in a park, which was good.  My idea was to pull off to the side of the road by a farmers field.  The snow was so powdery that we didn't really play in it so they wouldn't have had much fun in a field, they had more fun zooming down the slides!  Madelyn didn't know what to think.  She wasn't very impressed!
I don't know how to turn videos, if you do, feel free to share.  Turn your computer I guess :)  (watch them, they are funny!)
