Lent Laughter

I (Kristin) came home yesterday and noticed that our toaster oven was in the garage.  I sent Phillip a message asking why.  His response:

I gave the toaster oven up for Lent.

Really hun?  I have never heard of anyone giving up a small kitchen appliance for Lent, but leave it to my husband!

Walking in a Winter Wonderland!

We have had several little snows this year.  Most of which were a mixture of ice, which is not as much fun as fluffy snow.  However, this Friday we got a little dose of the pretty stuff!  Phillip is back on 10 hour shifts, so he works 3 PM to 1 AM.  We don't see much of each other; however, on Fridays he only works from 1 PM to 9 PM.  He got home a little before 10.  We already had at least 4 or 5 inches that had fallen.  We decided to take advantage of our precious time and go on a walk...at 10:30 PM...in the middle of the snow storm.  We had so much fun.  Mason loved it.  Gracie was not such a fan.  She tolerated it, but as soon as we got home she ran to the front porch and waited on us to finish playing and let her in.  Below are some pics (remember: it was late, so we were looking rough).
 
Sweet Gracie was such a good sport.  Her daddy was trying to get her to play with the snow.  Not really into it.  
 
Mason was all too eager to go on his walk.  He wouldn't even look at the camera.  Normally, he's the most photogenic dog around. 
Told ya!  I was quite sleepy and Phillip was ready to play in the snow.  Bad combo!  :-)  I got pelted.
This is the house the morning after.  We didn't get to play in the snow because of Valentine's Day at the florist, but it was so pretty while it lasted.
