Snow Day!!! Or is it Ice Day?

Here is Kalin and Porter freezing! This was our one and only real snow day in Georgia so we had to take the kids out. We don't even have that much snow gear, so we only stayed out for a few minutes! I know you really can't say it's much of a snow day compared to Utah!



Kalin was excited to be able to play in the snow. Even though it stuck on the ground, it was more like ice or slush so we couldn't really play with it. I tried, but my hands were so cold I had to do the freezing dance!

Food Storage

A couple months ago Alan and I decided that we needed to start our food storage. It was the perfect goal for the new year. First of all we had to make the space and decided it would be perfect under our stairs. Alan wired and put in two lights and a switch, then built the shelves. I was just in awe as he progressed and he would just say it was nothing. Well the finished product was amazing, but he still didn't think it was as great as I thought! As we started to fill it with a little food at a time, Alan asked why I hadn't taken pictures and put them on the blog. So I think that proved that he was at least a little proud of his work! I surprised him with a roll of carpet that I found for $15, I was happy about that deal!! We have both really enjoyed it and feel happy to be doing something right.

This door is inside our coat closet downstairs. I wanted to make this into a little hideout/fort for the kids because they abosolutely love it, but whats more important right? Following the prophet or the kids entertainment? It's a pretty darn close line if you ask me!

We do have quite a bit of storage and just can't wait to fill it up! Too bad we can only spend so much each month on food storage. It makes us happy and we love this little space!
