Busy, busy, busy! The temperatures were quite a bit warmer today. It was about -20 degrees, so we were able to get to the washateria to do laundry, catch up the blog, and take showers. 

By the time we completed all of those errands, it was time to go home to hang up the wet laundry, re-stoke the stove, have lunch, and take naps. Roger also went to the neighbor’s house to see if they might have a hitch for the trailer that’s sitting in our yard. We’d like to use it to haul wood, if we can get it shoveled out!

Tuesday is our day to use the bath house. Because we are trying to save on gas and wear and tear on the vehicle, we decided to walk. Let me just say: that was the WORST idea ever! It’s about a .5 mile walk. I wasn’t too bad going out to the bath house, as the kids were excited about going. Travis and Wyatt sat in the sled, and the older two boys walked. However, once we arrived, we had to change everyone out of their outer wear, inside clothes, and then into swim clothes. Then after the relaxing waters, we had to change everyone back out of wet clothes, into dry clothes, and into the outerwear! By that time, all the kids were tired and no one wanted to walk home! Travis was on the back of the sled, fell off, and was not easily convinced to ride it again.  Needless to say, we were all ready to get home. But, that’s not the end of the story…I had forgotten to put the meal in the crockpot, so supper wasn’t ready.  However, we did eventually get everyone fed, devotions done, and into bed…that was my favorite part of the day! 

On that note:

-We appreciate your prayers

- I am going to bed 
