For being such a short little month it sure held a lot of activity! Kardia (in-town youth retreat, like Disciple Now), a snow day, a wedding shower & a baby shower (neither for me, nor for the same person, thank goodness!).
Kardia was great--about 135 students (7th-12th grade) and about 40 college leaders spent the weekend looking at what media & culture tell us about who we are & what's important compared to what God & His Word say. My group of 7th grade girls doubled it's weekly size--14 girls came & I was so thankful to be able to open my home for them to stay at. Let me tell you, it was a par-tay! :)

The week after Kardia it snowed! Everything was pretty white for most of the day, many a snowball fight was had & there were snowmen everywhere! There's a big park next to the church & the day after the snow it looked like it had been the sight for a snowman war. There were remains & casualties melting everywhere, it was pretty funny.

My house. Snow pretty! :)
And the back yard was a snowy, slushy winter wonderland!
This past weekend the 8th grade girl leaders & I did a pizza/movie night with our girls. One of the leaders got pizza mixes so the girls got to make the dough, put the sauce & all the toppings on it themselves--it was so much fun! And then we watched Ever After--the Cinderella story with Drew Barrymore. Half the girls had never seen it (made us feel so old!). Then we played Twister--how long has it been since you played Twister? It was easier than I remembered. I utilized some yoga moves & did pretty well if I do say so myself!

And now it's March isn't it?! Let the March Madness begin! :)
