Surprise! Surprise! What a nice (unforcasted) surprise we got this morning when we woke up. Of course we figured that within an hour or so the rain would come and wash it all away, which is what generally happens in Oregon. However, to our surprise it snowed clear until after 1pm! They say we’re to get another 3” tonight so it might be that Nathan can’t go to work tomorrow. Fin has (another) follow-up doctor appointment so I might end up driving Nate into work in the afternoon (as our van works much better in the snow vs the back-light truck) and then go onto our appointment which isn’t until the afternoon. I know some of my readers come from snow-friendly places, but you have to understand, snow just doesn’t “happen” in Oregon – well, in the Valley where I live. 3” of snow causes havoc in the Valley and you wouldn’t believe how people can’t drive in the snow. It’s scary!
So, Nate and Maysen got out there and made the much-anticipated snowman today. We named it Big Booty Snowman as the rear end was rather large.
The neighbor boys came out and Nate had a good time playing snowball fights with them. Later, the neighbor hunter came out with his 4-wheeler and pulled the kids on sleds. Because of our recent bout with illness, Maysen was only out for about 30min but we watched the festivities from our front window.
Much concentration goes into making a tiny snowball with mittens on....
Mmmmm ... snotty nose!
So, right now the snow has stopped and all 3 of my boys are sleeping. I’m going to take advantage of the remote control now, curled up with my cup of General International cup of French Vanilla coffee (hey Scovil Family – I’m actually drinking COFFEE! It may be completely filled with sugar and flavored but it’s a start!)
