We knew the snow was going to fly on Saturday night, so we gathered the troops and got to work on weatherizing the yard and house for winter. While we were at it, we put up the Christmas lights so we wouldn't be doing it in the freezing chill of December with snow on the roof (like we've done in many years past). I know I've talked about working together many times, but it always amazes me how much is accomplished when everyone works toward a common goal. It seems that we learn something new while we're at it, too. See lesson learned, below...

Lesson Learned: During this family work project, we learned about the importance of preparedness. When we woke up to a blanket of snow Sunday morning, many of the children exclaimed, "I'm so glad we put up our Christmas lights yesterday" or "we got the house ready just in time" or "no slipping on the icy roof this year". I felt incredibly grateful that we planned ahead and then experienced the joy of being prepared.
Take advantage of family work projects. Boy, do you learn and accomplish a lot!!
More to come...but until then, Stick-to-it!
