Brrrrrrr!

We went from having balmy, unseasonably warm weather to in an instant having incredibly cold, wintry weather. The funny thing is that as it started to hail/sleet this afternoon, I ran to the window and told the boys to look out. It did look really cool bouncing off of our deck. Meanwhile, I realized that I hadn't heard from Sadie in awhile. I had just started to worry and my mom called. I got a panicky feeling, hung up with her and ran around the house calling for Sadie. Now mind you our house isn't huge, but I wasn't finding her anywhere. I was looking in her usual hiding spots thinking she had gone upstairs, but dreading the possibility if somehow she had gotten out the front door while the boys and I were watching out the back. Cobe finally saw her up on the kitchen counter wedged under the cabinets beside the stove SNEAKING candy! That is why the little sneak never answered me as I frantically called for her. I kept imagining that she was somewhere and maybe choking or had somehow gotten outside (even though the doors were still locked). Not a good feeling. I shouldn't be surprised- she knew exactly what she was doing. And I had glanced in our kitchen and since it is wide open, didn't think she was in there. Oh well- she never ceases to amaze me, and I do think she will be the one that keeps us on our toes as parents.

Had a great lesson at BSF tonight- Lynette, the 3 principals were:
1. Christians who desire the praise of others miss out on God's reward.
2. A Christian's priorities are focused only on what God desires.
3. God will provide every need of those who put Him first.

(Do not misinterpret- it isn't that Lynette needs to hear these principles, she just wasn't there to hear them for herself. :-) )

Off to flip back and forth between The Hills (Love Brody, right Em?) and The Bachelor. So hope Brad doesn't give a rose to Bettina. I'm definitely pulling for Jenni but would be okay with DeAnna as well.

I would be so totally fine waking up in the morning with a 2 hour delay from sleet. If it is going to be messy, then I want a perk from it! :-)

Thanks for clearing that up for me! Although, like always I do need to hear it! After more thought I think I didn't want to go tonight b/c I need a break from feeling like I have sooooo much to change! (And I had to sleep, although haven't gotten there yet). Thanks for posting those. LOL at Sadie hiding while eating candy... silly girl! See ya in the am!

Sneaky candy girl. Presley does the same; except she runs into her room upstairs and then blocks the door so I can't get in.
Sorry I baled on you last night. It just wasn't gonna work out. I'm so sorry. I hope I didn't leave you in a lurch. I'll talk to you tonight. We will be at adam's parents for awhile for my birthday dinner with his family.

Sarah..... didn't we teach you anything? Parents are supposed to eat the Halloween candy after the kids go to bed.

Sneaking candy... I love it. What a cutie!
Audrey has not figured that one out yet but her Mom has.
