Whoa Nelly!

Well we’re rocking another snow day, but this is no ordinary snow day for us.  We woke up this morning to a winter wonderland and it’s seriously snowed all day long.  I just took our most recent measurement.  Whoa Nelly!  That’s a lot of snow for Tennesseans.

I can’t remember ever getting this much snow.  Ever.  We have been living it up.  Josh Kelley is home and we’ve bounced between outside and inside to let our clothes dry all day long.

This snow is the good stuff.  Super easy to pack.  Great for snowballs and snow forts.  Sticks to your gloves.  Sticks to everything.  Easy to munch.  Super thick.  The kind of snow kids dreams of.

Josh and Hudson attempted building the Hoth rebel base.  Then our nephew Coop and his friends came over and these turned into the BEST giant snowballs for a fight.  We don’t kid around!!!!

Cookies have been made and consumed.  Popcorn snacking.  Shows going most of the day for warming up inside.  Lego playing.  Crosswords, word searches and mazes.  The dryer has been working over time…non-stop…all day long.  Tent building.  IPad time.  The whole 9 yards.

We took our current littlest out and almost lost her 🙂  Pink pants and pink boots for the win.  She loved it for a grand total of 15 minutes.

Mountain bikes we brought out.  Crazy high, thick snow meant Josh Kelley was the only successful biker.  Solomon gave it his best though.

I’m still working on my hot drink relationship.  Another tea.  This time black cherry and I was pleasantly surprised.

And this!!!  I read this passage and just cried like a baby.  We are chosen and then called out of our darkness and into not just any light, but His marvelous light.  Then mercy, boat loads of mercy.  Totally kills me.

1 Peter 2:9-10 ESV  “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.”

What a week.  I didn’t give it my best.  I had a piss pour attitude the majority of it, but I felt His mercy today.  I felt the love big time today and basked in His light.  It was a crazy good day.  Here’s to a snowed in kind of weekend.

Happy Friday!
