Snow’ish

It’s such a sad little amount of snow that we got, but it counts I guess. I was supposed to meet chantell at the Richmond temple today, but we got another 2-hour-delay so I had to cancel. Again. We’re shooting for Friday and hoping for the best. 

I didn’t take a single picture yesterday. I write out a list for myself every day and have been doing the same for the girls, so we were very productive. D and I were just fixing to walk out the door for ballet when I checked one more time and saw that it was cancelled for the weather too. 

Looking back, we all enjoyed our mini waffle iron I won at the Darrow’s Christmas party, so fun!

Trying to ingrain this in our girls. And myself honestly. Some days are easier than others. 

I love this and I believe He does. 

We are heading to Whistler next month, so one day we checked all of our snow gear, and we are set bytheway. Matt bought us these matching snowsuits before we got married, and they were retro even back then. And we still got it! 19 years later and they still fit. Or maybe fit again as the case may be. 

We had so much fun working on our Christmas puzzle every day. We got behind a few days, but we were pretty on the ball. We separated it all back into the separate bags so we can do it again next year. 

We finished our Finders Seekers mystery game papa sent over break too. Paris was hard, but we all like Boston a lot better. Finally getting good at it!

One day we went over to the Henderson’s to climb their rock wall. I’ve always wanted to, and finally got the chance. I climbed to the top on both sides and then I’d climb halfway down and then let go. It is scary and you have to have a lot of faith in that equipment. And one time mark belayed me down and that was scary too. And then Marc wanted to teach the girls, so he had adi belaying me and when I let go she shot up out of her seat. We all laughed and laughed. 

I only took 2 pictures, but everyone loved it. Adi and Frankie had just been, so they climbed a few times and were done, but Delaney climbed and climbed. Amy even came out and climbed, it was a fun morning. 

I’m trying to fight the pms, cold and grey weather, talk writing blues and today I did not win. I laid in bed and read till the girls got home. I know I need to exercise to keep my mental health and it’s so cold outside I’m dreading it. Also old lady pms is kicking my booty and I don’t like it. There’s my complaints. Now for some gratitude. one of my relief society presidents said she’s working on making her prayers more meaningful by saying “I’m grateful for this day because…” so I’m grateful for this day because I was able to take a beat and do nothing. I’m grateful for this day because Matt has a good job and is doing good things. And I’m grateful for this day because we’re all healthy and there’s been a ton of sickness going around.
