This weeks word has been: SNOW! lol... it's everywhere and seems to never cease floating from the sky. The roads were so bad that our ward was cut down to just sacrament meeting. I couldn't even make that because I was partly snowed in at my sister's house in Pasco. I stayed there 2 nights because I didn't want to face the roads and drivers on those roads as well as the trips back and forth from Pasco to Kennewick, so I stayed with them and had some fun! The kids went out twice during the day after a half hour of prep time (putting on hats, mittens, long socks, stuffing pants into socks, putting on winter overalls, tucking in shirts to mittens, putting on coats, zipping them up, me putting on boots, then another hat to top it off...) they roll out the door into the snow and can't hardly stand up on the back patio because it was tile and so it became an ice rink with the layer of ice on it. But you sit back after they are outside with their red cheeks and appreciate how fun and creative they are. You snap pictures here and there and they end up coming inside crying because they are freezing, hands are numb, or they have snow in their face from a face plant or snowball. :) Then the stripping of the winter gear happens. The taking off of everything just put on about a half hour earlier. And once it's off they want back out about 15 minutes later! Pchah!
This workout seems to help with all the Holiday Treats I have been baking and recieving though! I found this awesome recipe for Chex Muddy Buddies that I will post later for you all to enjoy! It's divine! and of course the cookies, salads, fudge, and the list goes on and on... yeah... can you tell that the New Years Resolutions haven't come into play yet? hahaha
We have gotten about a foot and a half of snow (more in some places) here and it's starting to loose it's charm on me. I love the snow and to look at it and feel it at times, but when it's preventing you from getting to work on time and feeling safe on the roads then it's not so fun anymore. We are expecting more on Wednesday into Thursday too! At Leah's house we had to shovel 3 times one night and then again in the morning... it was dumping snow. Some people are plowed in and I almost was this morning. I had parked my car on the street so my sister could rightfully use her driveway for her vehicle. In the morning I came out and there was about a foot of plowed up snow right next to my door. Fun? Not really... some digging, sliding and such later... we were on the way to the daycare place and thankfully haven't been in an accident yet... although there has been some close calls (2).
Anyways... once I get the cord to hook my camera up... I will upload photos of the snow and Landon and Linzey playing in it. I hope you are safe and enjoying the Christmas activites of the season. HoHoHo and Merry Christmas! ;P
