Snow Day!

I always have the best of intentions with projects but inevitably life gets busy and things fall behind.  Since we had a snow day and many hours to fill we decide to get caught back up on our Lenten Tree.  The kids had fun coloring the ornaments.  Then we attempted a photo outside to capture the snowy day...what ended up happening was ornaments flying all over the place :)

Photo attempt #1
After successfully recovering all the ornaments (at least we think???) we took another picture inside with the door open to the backyard to continue to capture the ambiance of the SNOW.
Photo attempt #2
Fitting that our devotion today was Calming the Storm

New Memory Verses were handed out for March.  I have only had a chance to take video of the Explorers (Kindergarten -1st grade) class but during the next several weeks I will include other classes.  Check out The Scoop for the Memory verses for March & April. 
Psalm 119:32 "I run in the path of your commands, for you have broadened my understanding."
