The Day of Snow

  
  

In the morning, mom came rushing in and said there was snow falling! I got out of my bed. I looked through my big window and it was snowing outside! I wanted to go outside and make a snowman. After awhile Dad helped me get on my snow clothes. I went outside with my snow clothes on, of course. I got a couple of balls. Mom rolled them. I put the head on and Mom put on the face. After church the snow melted and the snowman tipped over. I wanted to pick up the stuff that was left from the snowman, but I decided not. I had some warm hot chocolate instead. - by Kiersten

Last of the Canning!

   

     

I managed to get all the tomatoes picked the day before it froze. Made them into marinara and salsa. Yum! So glad to be done and get all the canning stuff out of the kitchen!

Jared's 15th Birthday

  

Jared turned 15 on September 26. He wanted the Nike+ for iPod (a sensor that fits in your shoe and turns your ipod into a pedometer), and he spent a lot of time the first few days running on the treadmill. He also got his very own Costco-sized bag of M&M's. Now he won't have to eat mine!
