blah blah blah, snow day!

at what point does snow go from being awesome to super annoying?  maybe it's a certain age or a number of days of snow.  for me?  i absolutely love seeing it come down but once it's here the optimal number of days is two.  two snow days & then i'm over it.  you see, the seattle area does NOT do snow well... it snows, it's fun, then it freezes & then we all get to hang out under a sheet of ice until it thaws.  lame!

it started snowing saturday night... it's so pretty when it snows here!  and it totally brings the excited kid out of you watching it come down.  parker thought seeing our car covered in snow was hilarious.  first thing sunday morning sam went out to shovel the driveway & parker immediately asked for his snow boots to go out with him.

once elliot saw sam & parker out there, he ran & grabbed his boots & squawked for the door {sidenote: elliot doesn't say a ton of words... he kinda just squawks.  this is a whole other post, ha!}.  so what was supposed to be sam shoveling the driveway for five minutes turned into one snowman, two snow angels, a walk around the neighborhood & a whole lotta nearly frozen fingers & toes later.

good times.

  5. Sure it's pretty while it falls. It's gorgeous but when it's coming every. other. day and in large, large amounts...you get over it fairly quickly. between snow & polar vortex's it is so safe to say that all of us in chicago & the surrounding 'burbs are completely OVER winter. The kids enjoy it, especially Ben, but he's a boy & 7 so snow is definitely fun. Regardless, I wound never do without snow or winter or the change of seasons...

    Enjoy it. I will be gone as quickly as it came.

  10. I'm with Tara on this one...effective last Thursday (when I got my car stuck in the alley) I was over winter. The bitter cold has been harsh, and it seems EVERYWHERE has been hit with more snow than we need! As my sons say "bleah!"
