 Notice anything weird about this picture, besides the fact that the kids are all facing the wall? Yup. They have their pajamas on inside out. The school nurse said that wearing your pajamas inside out would make it snow and as soon as the boys caught wind of that, they gave it a try. I tossed and turned all night long hoping it would snow for Noah's sake but did we get snow? Of course not. We got freezing cold temperatures but not a flake. Okay. . . I think Mark counted seventeen flakes but what good are seventeen flakes and subzero temperatures? You can't build a snowman or go sledding or have a snowball fight without snow and in subzero temps. That's just miserable. Noah has tried praying for snow and even did a "snow dance" the other night but we got nothin'!
 I'll tell you what we did get though. Stomach flu. Noah spent all night Saturday night barfing his guts out. I knew it was coming. The other day when I was buying my groceries online, they had Coke products on sale. I didn't buy any caffeinated ones but I seriously considered it because February is our most popular month for stomach flu and there's nothing like a good Coca-cola classic to soothe a yucky tummy. But when they delivered the groceries they didn't have my original choice and substituted none other than the Classic Coke itself. That should have been a sign. But Saturday while I was driving in the car I thought, wow, we haven't had anyone barf for quite some time now. And as quickly as the thought entered my mind I shoved it out, because I've learned that whenever I think anything even slightly nasty, it happens to me. Well. . . it happened and I must say, I'm really beginning to fear my own thoughts. And also, I'm wondering, why doesn't it snow when I think, Man we haven't had snow for awhile?
