SnoCal 2012

Ok, i'm a little ticked off right now

my computer's running slow

as usual

my pictures are failing to upload

not usual

and Aidan has decided that she would like to be a teacher this afternoon

so she keeps interrupting with new assignments for me to complete

or checking to see if I need to go potty

 pretty cute, but she's kind of bossy too

anyway, I'll do my best to give a short recap of the holiday weekend

so here it goes

Over the last six years, every President's Day weekend our youth 

group heads up to the Pinecrest mountains for our annual SnoCal Retreat

and this year was no different

the adventure began on Saturday morning with a four hour drive up the mountains

the weather channel said there would be no snow

so i didn't bring jackets

the weather app said there would be no snow

so I didn't bring my gloves

the national weather website said that snow levels were at 0"

so I didn't bring the girl's snow suits

but when we got there, we found this

so I ran to the nearest gas station and one hundred dollars later, 

we had the minimum amount of snow gear we needed to get through the weekend

and it was pretty great

the weekend was filled with sledding

snowball fights

book clubs

board games

eating games

hunger games

messages

bible reading

worship

and

good eats 

and as quickly as it started, it ended

and then we came home

to a fridge with zero food

several loads of laundry

and two very tired children

and whole new kind of week began

the whole family woke up

put our Van's shoes on

and headed out shopping

Costco took our money

Lucky's took our money

Trader Joe's took our money

but our fridge was full again

and we didn't waste anytime on chowing down

remember Thursday is the first Thursday of the month which means

PinterTest Kitchen hosted by Jessica

and I've been PinterTesting like a madman

so, see ya Thursday!
