SNOW DAY!!!

we were so upset this morning when we woke up and there was no snow. it was just nasty, drizzly rain. we went to our morning meeting and when we came out, it was snowing and beautiful!
it was the perfect day for watching football, scrapbooking, reading, taking a nap and watching the nanny (depending on who you ask!)

whenever it snows, i always take some pictures of this crepe myrtle. i just love the perspective and the glimpse of the rest of the street.


here's mck heading out for some fun--she had quite the outfit on let me tell you!

the series of cartwheel pictures...
they crack me up!






collecting snow for snow ice cream


one of the few times i actually like this tree in our front yard--when it's covered in snow!

cosmo ran out the door, took a few steps and ran right back in the house!

of course you have to make snow angels

something warm to drink

love those red cheeks!

here's my snow ice cream. have you ever made it? so yummy. you just mix lots of (clean) snow, sugar, milk, vanilla. add some mini chocolate chips and it's delicious!


love this one of her jumping and the scarf flying up in the air.
so we're all hoping that it will be too bad to go to school and work tomorrow--but we'll just wait and see!
in other news...
we're trying to take a picture of us at the start of each month this year--with the exception of me my subjects are not too willing! mck hates this one because she hates smiling with her mouth open, but i love it and it's my blog. so there.
(we had just finished our family worship evening--we usually all climb on the bed, snuggle up and study.)
have a good week!
tomorrow i am posting my meal plan (riveting reading, i know.)

  1. We were supposed to get snow in Seattle but we know better than to believe it until we see it. I was hoping it was snowing when we left the meeting. Nope, just cold. If we had your snow, everything would shut down.

    I totally called it as I followed the pics of Mck's cartwheel. Plop! Too fun!
