What the Bible says about snow...

"Though your sins are as scarlet,
They will be white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They will be like wool."
Isaiah 1:18



Your snowman's days are numbered, so take plenty of pictures :)


What I love about the unexpected March snow...

My husband has a late start to work
Seeing the kids excitement when looking out the window first thing in the morning
A day at home to get postponed housework done
Baking delicious treats such as...

BREAKFAST OATMEAL BARS

1 1/4 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup chopped nuts (e.g. almonds, walnuts, pistachios, pecans, peanuts)
3/4 cup dried fruit (e.g. dates, apricots, raisins, prunes, cranberries)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 375F. Line 25x25cm baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Mix wet ingredients. Pour wet into dry ingredients and stir to combine. Let the mixture soak for 10 minutes. Then pour into prepared dish and press down evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Cut into squares while still hot. Let cool completely before storing in airtight container.

And taking pictures of my littles...:)


P.S. Can I just add that the art of rolling a snowman is NOT easy...and quite the full body workout when you have 4 weeks left before little stud arrives. That's my excuse for the leaning old man! :)
