Snow. We finally got some snow here in central PA. As the fluffy white stuff began to accumulate Team Sublett (or Kim) went on a Herculean search for the snow pants that we stored somewhere when we lost our garage to a bedroom. We lost quite a few things in the shuffling, but the bin with the snow gear turned up and the day was saved.
Isaac tells us that he played in the snow all the time in Inner Mongolia. He’s pretty good at throwing snowballs (see the pic with Sadie being pelted) and rolling snowman parts. We’ve got a nifty little hill beside our house that’s pretty well suited for the first sledding attempts of the day. Check out the pic of the 3 kids headed for the telephone pole. That turned out ok. Josie’s not quite as skilled a snow-rider. She stayed on her mount all the way down the steps into Delma’s freshly cleaned driveway (Thanks neighbor Mike!). I guess God protects the children who don’t have much common sense…
I headed off to a prayer gathering with the CityChurch at Mount Nittany Middle School while the kids tromped back inside for some hot chocolate. We used to have a laundry room with a door to the outside. The kids would drop all their wet gear there before heading upstairs. We lost the laundry room with a door to the remodel, too. Oh well, I’m not complaining! We’ve got lots of great bedrooms…
It’s a blast sitting around the supper table talking with our kids, hearing them recount the best and worst of the sled runs, the snowballs that found their mark, and the laughter (or tears) that followed. Tonight we played a goofy little game. Sadie and Annabelle are learning the names of all 50 United States. We took turns, rattling them off in alphabetical order. We had to help Josie and Isaac when their turns rolled around. Although Isaac was definitely trying. Kim had Pennsylvania, and Isaac followed with a triumphant shout:
Pencil Case!
We laughed for a good 5 minutes. Ah yes, good times for Team Sublett.
normally you’d be seeing pictures of the snow fun here. Unfortunately, WP is being bratty and shutting down my browser every time I try to upload pics. I’ll try again later, but I’m posting this without pics for now…
