SO SWEET

Today I took the kids sledding.  I don't know if you can really call it that but we hooked the sled up to the van again and I pulled them behind it.  But there wasn't much snow so I guess it would be more accurate to call it graveling.  The sled had a couple of holes in it.  So glad it was a cheap one I picked up at Goodwill.  Then we went to the big canal that we swim at and the kids slid down the side of the canal on their snow pants.  It was steep and they loved it. But it was SO cold out.  So we didn't last too long. 

On our way back home we saw a BUNCH of geese in the field.  Caleb got all excited so we borrowed a shotgun from my sister and Caleb got his camo clothing on and we headed out to figure out who owned the land.  We thought we knew but when we got to their home they told us it was someone else.  We couldn't get a hold of them so ended up going home.  After checking the field again......the geese were gone.  SNIFF SNIFF.  

I literally went into town 5 times.  FIVE times people.  It isn't like we live around the corner from the store either.  We are out in the country.  But I took Caleb into the church for basketball practice.  Then had to stop at the store for ingredients for dinner. Then I had to get the car back home so Don could go to the college and study.  Then back to get Caleb and to the store again.  Then my mom needed her medicine so I headed back to Walmart to get that and grab the chicken I forgot the first time.  Came home then ended up back at the store for things for breakfast.  UGH...do you remember how in a few posts back I said I wasn't organized.  If I had been more prepared I would have gotten it ALL the first trip.  Then my mom came home from a single adult activity and everyone raved about the cookies I MADE.  :)  And they wanted to know if she was bringing more tomorrow night to the fireside.  She said she would....but she thought there was choc. chips in the freezer.  There wasn't.  WHY? Caleb used them in the pancakes the other morning (no one but him likes them in their pancakes....but oh well).  SO I headed back in for that.  Maybe that was only four times...maybe five. I think I have lost count.

When Don came home from studying he brought me some flowers.  They are sooo pretty and they smell good too.  SO SWEET.
