snow days and cold weather

So this Season here in washington we have had unusual weather for this area. for the past Week we have been seeing snow around here. of course not very much but some snow, and then things turned south.... We then got freezing temperatures ALL week which kept the snow around here on the ground. Well then... the snow started back up on Wednesday. Thursday Devin and I couldn't make it in to work, Friday i had to have a co-worker pick me up because it was a frozen solid street out there. so Satuday comes around and the snow starts up again at 2pm. It snowed, and snowed, and snowed till sometime during the night. Here are some photos from last night when Devin and I went out with the dog.

this is last night during that round of snow. We cleared off my car yesterday afternoon when we took it out to get pellets. Wow that was a treat. We made it out of the driveway ok and made it to Tacoma ok, and even made it home well, it wasn't untill we tried to back down the driveway that the back wheels hit the snow and started sliding sideways and down. SIGH..... It stopped 1 foot away from the garage when the front wheel hit the only dry spot on the driveway. that was a teeth clencher.

She was LOVING to burry her head into the snow and just play around in it. She was having the time of her life out there!!! well then we got a call from Lance and he said they were going for family drive time. So they drove there way over to our house. i made hot apple cider, and Addie colored.

We had a good time, and then they left to go fight the snow on the way home. We woke up this morning just amazed to find how much snow was out there. We got up and went for a walk with the dog down to the small cemetary park. We got home and sure enough it started snowing again. It hasn't stop since and it's 5:30pm. We are in another winter watch for 4-8 more inches overnight, plus with the freezing temperatures, the high was 29. We are looking at possibly not being aboe to get to work in the morning. Snow day again. devin and I are getting a little stir crazy. We were bored today and didn't know what to do. So we cleaned and organized some things, and then while i took a nap, Devin made Pumpkin bread!!! MMMM, it was nice to wake up to that lovely smell coming from the kitchen. Well here are a few pictures from our day today, and hopefully we will get some updated photos tonight just to show how much we have gotten again!


It's been a crazy week and it's been fun and they say that we may even have a white Christmas. that's WAY rare around here but we are excited to see what happens.

See, we moved here and brought the crazy midwest weather with us! If you guys are bored, wander over and I'm sure I have a few little people who could keep you from getting cabin fever!

Wow, that's real rough for you guys, no I'm just kidding. I'm actually really jealous. We haven't gotten a lot of snow like that, and It just rained yesterday melting all of our snow. Good luck with all that.
