Last Big Winter Blast... not.

Yesterday we canceled all of our plans for this morning and set up early in the week because of a "massive winter storm" that was on its way.

This weekend we had quite a few things planned:

Club 54 Hits the Ice!
4th & 5th graders were heading out for a hang-out time at an inside ice rink here.

Painting & Egg Stuffing Party
This is a continuation of last week's Spring Spruce Up.
Why not buy eggs pre-stuffed? Minor Irritation...
Not only were they open, but they were filled with junk. I realize we're not placing pieces of gold inside this year, but it has to be better than chalk candy that looks like it was made in 1972.

Encouraging Words Outreach & Training
This one wasn't ours, but Brandon was really looking forward to it. Though honestly, regardless of whether they could have driven in it, it's a good thing they canceled anyway. I believe they are outside most of the time for this and there may not be any snow... but it is coooold! Meteorologists are safe on this one.

Over the years, you'd think we'd know better than to take to heart everything that is said in the news, especially when it comes to weather. Not saying the meteorologists don't know what they are talking about, but in all reality, God controls the weather and I think He likes to remind us of that from time to time.

So what's the worst that will happen today?
We are ready for tomorrow and are still able to head over to a friend's house for dinner tonight. Sounds like an awesome day to me.
Still... I can't help but miss those beautiful big fluffy snowflakes...
