Snow Day

What a sight it is when you wake up and during the night, ten inches of snow has fallen in Como, MS!  It was beautiful, and I knew that God had given us a special gift.  What fun we had playing in the beautifully fallen snow!  Pickles was wide awake at daybreak waiting to go outside and see how many snowballs and snow angels she could make.  Soon the neighbors were out and they began building a snowman. I began to get worried about an hour later, and she came to the door requesting a carrot and five pieces of charcoal. The beautiful snowman had been built and was ready for decorating!  After two hours, she came in, cold, wet and cranky!  What a great time she had, and lifelong memories were made.  After lunch and a short Daddy nap, we decided it was time to go sledding.  We created a redneck Mississippi luge out of two cattle lead ropes, the plastic liner of a feed trough and the pulling power of a four-wheeler!  Let's just say I am glad that I wrestle the Little Man on a daily basis, because every ounce of upper body strength was necessary to pull us around the yard!  It was so much fun we will have a repeat tomorrow with the neighbors while Scott goes to work and makes us some money so we can go shopping!!!  Anyway, we had a great time, and the pictures are below.

Later this evening, my friend Beth Little came over and wanted cheese grits like we had on Christmas Day. Let's just say we were short on time, and we made the speedy version.  The recipe is below the photos.  Hope everyone enjoyed the snow, and until next time, keep adventuring.
