Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!


We encountered our first "snow storm" yesterday. Which was absolute perfect timing, with the Christmas decorations up and music playing. I was in heaven! :) We got about 3.5 inches, just enough to stick on the ground for a couple days and let Gavin romp around.

The funny thing about snow is everyone thinks it's the perfect excuse to do absolutely nothing. I'm not complaining one bit- I'm thoroughly enjoying sitting on my computer still in my jammies at 12:15. But Seattleites do not know how to drive in the snow. Heck, they can barely handle driving in the rain. Not that I'm any better...this is the first place in my life I have lived where the temperature gets below 50 degrees.

An inch of snow comes down and schools are closed, roads are closed, traffic is horrendous, and cars are in ditches everywhere. So here I sit. Safe and sound in my little bunker, next to my fireplace. And I have absolutely no intentions of going anywhere. Except I made Joe promise to come pick me up for Thanksgiving. There is no way I'm missing out on Beth's cooking!

I'm so jealous:) I can't wait to take Siena to the snow. You guys should collect some (not yellow of course) and bring it in the house to make snow cones!!!!!
