Thanksgiving 2010 snow start

Last time it snowed in Western Washington in November was 1985. But this year we've had a blast of arctic whatnot which as completely screwed up the week. Note to mid-westerners, if it gets below freezing and snows as little as an inch here, it means that an unfortunately large number of people spend the night on the impassable freeways, and if you are out and about when it hits, you may have to abandon your car and walk. We lucky 5 have been spared such indignity, but getting out of our cul de sac is extremely challenging! So it's best to not to try. In fact, as Catie and Miranda demonstrate, it's best to snuggle on the couch and indulge in chocolate milk. Weather will be back to the 40s and raining by the weekend. Oh, sweet drizzly, gray serenity how we miss you!

Snow Day

When we woke up this morning, we saw snow falling. What better time to try out the snow pants on the neighbor's trampoline.

Erika goes first. It's a bit trickier than it first seems.


The first snowball.


Miranda is more introspective today, but she enjoyed being outside.


Catie likes this snow throwing concept.

Erika the acrobat

Hmmm, I realized that I hadn't posted in a while so here is a picture of Erika to tide you over until we get some new pictures of everyone. Enjoy!
