Sunday we were "snowed in," and spent most of the relatively quiet day inside. Church was cancelled and our wonderful neighbor who usually clears our driveway for us was out of town, so it fell to us to clean our own driveway. We lead such hard lives. We all bundled up and headed outside for a bit. If I remember correctly it was about 5 degrees and the air was very dry. Lauren only lasted 2 minutes before I took her back in. Will lasted ten minutes longer. Anthony and I had fun shoveling for about half an hour before we went in too.
Is it sad that on January 6th I'd already been to the gym half as many times as I went during the entire month of December?
Tuesday afternoon we visited the Johnson County Museum. It had been quite awhile since we had last been there, so it was an above average visit. Lauren loves babies and had a blast lining them up and giving them their "medicine," or lotion as it know to the rest of the world. She has eczema and we use medicated lotion on her, thus she thinks ALL lotion is medicine.
Wednesday evening we had the missionaries over for dinner. Lauren is becoming quite a ham and could not sit still while they were shared a message with us.
Will likes to line up his sea creatures and play school with them. On this day the octopus was the teacher and they sang the following song: "How many friends are here today? Here to learn, here to play. How many friends are here today? Let's all count them." Then he counts the students. It is fun to see what he remembers doing at school.
The kids love dancing. When it is too cold to go out and play we try to burn some of their excess energy by getting our dance on.
Saturday I filled up our gas tank. I was able to save about $5 using our Hy-Vee fuel saver rewards card. When you purchase certain grocery items you earn varying amounts off per gallon. I don't usually pay much attention to the fuel-saver items in the ad, but this week we actually needed several things that had rewards so it was nice to get the extra savings.

I am amazed that you have the time to keep up these daily posts. I enjoy every one of them, and look forward each week to seeing the new one. I don't have anything new or interesting to comment on (except when I saw your gas post, I first thought that the price of gas was under $3.00 per gallon and I was so impressed!) except to tell you that even if I don't comment, I read and re-read each post but don't always comment because I can't think of anything clever to say. I love you guys!
Fun that you're going to the gym and good job. I hope your house projects are going well. I just saw a 5-year journal with the photo-a-day concept, except with 1 sentence. Great work!
I'm with comment no. 1. I don't always have a lot to comment on your daily blog posts, but I do enjoy reading them and seeing what you guys are up to! Hope January is treating you well so far.
