Record Snow!

This picture was taken BEFORE the giant snow storm. This was our first snow day so we rushed out and built a snowman- our fam favorite snow activity! I was planning on making banana bread that day but sacrificed the idea for the snowman's mouth! We had a carrot for a good classic nose and made some eyes with Ritz crackers, blueberries, and frosting. Lizzie was thrilled.

Last night we had record snow within such a short time period. The Chicagoan in me always laughs at how everyone here gets so worked up about a couple snowflakes, but the Seattlite I've become totally gets excited too! There is much truth to the tale about there being NO snow plows and no salt on the roads. When it snows at all you are pretty much stuck at home.

So Dave's office closed for the day and we have been enjoying a true snow day. We drove a couple blocks to take the kids sledding (where we almost got stuck for good...like I said, NO plows or salt). Then we came home and enjoyed some hot cocoa!



The kitty hat is Lizzie's but Julie has fallen in love and screams to wear it whenever she sees it so Lizzie gave the ok for Julie to wear it!

Our front yard has been a great place to play and even the road is relatively safe considering we live on a court within a court.
It amused me that even when we walked to the main(ish) roads they were full of people sledding instead of cars. lol!
