We got some funny reponses.
Some said "Oh yes!" and some others said "No."
We just weren't sure what to expect.
Well, we'll let you decide.
AHH YEAH! Check out all that snow! People keep trying to reassure us that this is unusual, but we'll take it! We're slowly investing in snow gear. Dan and I fianlly have gloves, and the kids now have hats. Maybe next year we'll get boots!
Although school has had a two hour delay all week, and morning kindergarten has been canceled (lucky for chelse, she's in the afternoon and has gotten to go everyday!) As you may recall, we are barely in the "parent pick-up boundaries" so I get to drop off and pick her up each day. I'm not a huge fan of driving in the snow, after personally spinning out on a highway a few times, but I love my daughter and know she loves school, so it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. Just don't flip off the lady in the navy mini van, driving about 5 MPH. :)
Oh yeah, they don't seem to have plows here, or even sand for the roads. Sometimes you'll see a pick-up truck with a plow attached, but most of the roads are packed down with snow, or you get the chance to off-road on sidestreets with over a foot of snow on them. What fun!
The high for the week? about 22 degrees. We went sledding behind the church one night after Dan got home, andit was 2 degrees outside, with a windchill of negative SIX. But the kids loved it and can't wait to go again.
Here's a view of the backyard. And, just in case you're wondering, no we didn't forget to put the toys away.
It's what we call "abstract Art".
And just to be random, check out this house Dan got as a gift from a local orthodontist. It is pure chocolate! The house is made out of milk chocolate, the base is made from dark chocolate and the snow is made from white chocolate...with a little bit of powdered sugar for effect.
Fondue anyone?

wow looks like fun! I must admit I do get a little nastalgia looking at the snow pics, but I know I will get my day again when we will live in a snowy area, so for now I will just enjoy this nice weather! i'll eat that house for you! You need to learn to photo shop out the stray toys, i've done that before. What did I just say that, I mean never!
Wow! Love the chocolate house! We finally got snow here and now it won't stop! A storm on Tuesday, today, tomorrow, Sunday, etc. I guess we will be having a white Christmas; hope you will too!
The hot air balloons look like so much fun...well they LOOK like they would be fun not that you would ever catch me in one of those things. Love the snow. You guys are amazing parents. Rain, snow, shine, hot, hot, hot, freezing...you are always doing something fun outdoors with your kids. Awesome!
Oh snap.
Im okay if someone got the urge to give me a delicious chocolate house!
Nice snow!
You are awesome!
I'm so jealous of all you in the Northwest who will get a white Christmas. My whole life I've waited for one and the year we move, of course there is one! Oh, well what can you do?! The chocolate house looks delicious; almost too good to eat!
