Snowed In

There is a blizzard in Colorado. I actually had class cancelled this morning (I've lived here 3 1/2 years, that's never happened before)

So it's a stay in your pjs, snowed in kind of day. To start Sydnee and Beckham decided to find their "baby bear" and "baby puppy" (Sydnee's names for the animals that they were given as babies from Mommy and Daddy) I actually found the pictures that I have of the kids as babies with their animals. They're from build-a-bear and have the lullaby button in a paw for each of them.

Beckham and his puppy (Sydnee picked it out)

Sorry Baby Puppy, he's a boy!

Later we all bundled up and went outside. Sydnee wanted to make a snowman! The snow was perfect! Although this is the second snowman, the first one was tragically destroyed by a 2 year old tackling it while Mommy was searching for a snowman face in the house.

This picture is literally 2 seconds before that snowball hit my face. Becks has really good aim!

After playing in the snow we all came inside and sat next to the fire!

Then we had Hot Cocoa! (Sydnee wanted the straw, I think it ruins the cocoa taste)


All in all a fun day, although I think I'm starting to miss adult conversation.

For an update on me, well I'm kind of scared. Why? Well because I feel so peaceful with how my life is right now. Balancing all of this is really hard, but I'm loving life right now. I'm loving my children, schooling (to a point) being able to spend time working on me, my home.....it all feels so right. I'm not really sad anymore, I'm happy with what is going on and I feel that it's what I should be doing. I'm scared because I don't want to go back to feeling devastated and hurt. I'm not angry, I'm not bitter (usually) I just feel peace.

Something good.....I started my very first fire in my home all by myself. I've never done that before. I sat there amazed for a minute at how far I've come in so short of a time.
