the attack

Once upon a time there was a group of singing ushers ...

...who did a whole lot of standing around...

...but every once in a while...

...they...






...attacked.

(Oh, my darlings! Thank you for giving me a hilarious memory I will never forget! I love you so much! Thank you for waving flashlights in random stranger's faces, clapping far above your head, and kneeling down JUST in time. You're just simply the best.)

To the rest of my readers: Major apologies for not updating but I'll be back very soon!

a little gnome fact...

...i love snow :D

Yesterday, school was finally cancelled and I got to relax, go sledding, watch tv, and throw parties! Hooray! It was best Valentine's snow ever, I believe. Mr. Porch Gnome agrees....

...and so does Mr. Pig Gnome.


...and Mikey. Well he agrees too, but he's also just too cute to not put up a picture of. :)


Mikey and Sean Mayo (who made a surprise visit) built a rather scary looking snowman out of the icy snow chunks.


Later, I looked out and saw it wasn't actually a snowman at all, but the Empire State Building. Why, of course?


But speaking of outside, goodness was it beautiful! An ice storm came in right after the snow storm so everything was shiny and glittering in the sun.







Lord, I can't even imagine what other beautiful things you have waiting for us in heaven! Wow! Thank you for showing us some of your wonder in your creation. You are so great.

Clap your hands, all peoples!
Shout to God with loud songs of joy!
For the Lord, the Most High, is to be feared,
a great king over all the earth.
-Psalm 47: 1-2
