My first post...

So, I decided to start blogging!! It seems that it will be a form of journaling for me...
Today there is a MAJOR blizzard going on in our area, so we are homebound.
Church was canceled, and with that, the kids' Christmas program for Sunday School.
We made a gingerbread house yesterday as well as some sugar cookies to decorate, so I don't have anything very "fun" to occupy the troops with today.
(Lest you think me quite Betty Crocker, the gingerbread house was from a box we bought at Target, and the sugar cookies were packaged from the grocery store--we just used some cookie cutters, baked them, and then I'm letting the kids decorate as they go.)

Chores took especially long today with all the snow and wind and cold---the boys and Dennis were quite bundled against the elements as they went about their duties!!
I always feel a little guilty all snug and warm in the house--but it doesn't last long. The guilt, I mean.

So, right now most of the kids are reading, Dennis is watching football on TV, and I am doing laundry. But hey--when am I NOT doing laundry?? The diapers are sloshing about in the machine as I type. Gotta love those cloth diapers!!

Well--that's about it for my very first post. Hopefully, the ones to come will be more entertaining than this one!
