The Sniffles

The snow has returned in full force. This morning after Camilla left for the bus I grabbed a shovel and started clearing the walks. Joseph was quick to join me and after explaining what was left I had to go back inside to sooth a crying babe. Joe came running in a few minutes later, frustrated that the snow was so heavy and he wasn't strong enough to push it. He stomped back down the steps and tried again. The next time he came in with a smile and exclaimed,"Mommy, I said a prayer and Heavenly Father made me strong! I can push the snow now!" I beamed with pride at my little guy, set a contented babe in the lap of his big brother, pulled my mitts back on and joined him in the driveway again. 

I spent the rest of my day surrounded by little people. I cleaned up the kitchen, baked some bread and put dinner in the slow cooker. I also wiped this boy's nose about a hundred times. We've all got a pretty bad case of the sniffles over here.
