Meaningless rantings of a cabin fevered Mom.

uuuummmmmm well hey, i guess summer was fun while it lasted? Does this mean im behind starting my Christmas shopping?? o.0 OI to the VEY!

so, it's been icing and raining and miserable all day long, and night has fallen, in more ways than one, and as i looked up from my cleaning ( a Varnadore thing we have decided) i saw snow. Big fluffy white flakes of snow. Falling lightly to the ground, covering the ugly slush and ice and making the cold outdoors look very comfortable. God is so good, He sends us just what we need, right when we need it, Like a warm fuzzy blanket :)

One nice thing about having a cliff for a front walk, it makes a great sledding hill, complete with warm bathrooms, warm observation deck, first aid, oh yeah, and Hot Coffee. :) Matt planning Isaac's descent I can't get over the perpetual state of discombobulation of Aiden. Sammy seems to be bummed about watching and not being in the snow. He likes to lead, or dictate, or whine? It's cute though.

So, monday we woke to the first big snowstorm of the season. Looks like we could get a bunch! For once i planned ahead! We have hats gloves coats AND even sleds for the kiddos. Yay me :) Of course, per Atkins' tradition, with the first snowstorm comes the first Christmas cookies. :) Now i have to tell you! Last year i tried to make these things with Mom Doenges' OLD cookie press. It had been passed down a few times, with the recipie, through her family, and no one likes to make them, because the press nearly breaks your hand. WELL! This year, i cracked open the Pampered Chef one my muddah gave me, and OH my GOODness! These were the easiest cookies i ever made! *lol* and last but certainly not least, A day in the life of Samantha, as told in pictures. Tempermental? Moody? Adorable? You decide!
