Snow

This winter has been pretty dry for Oregon.  I was starting to worry about my bushes and trees we planted last year.  I didn't really have to worry about my grapevines thanks to our dog Trooper who ate them. 

 Evil glare.  

Thankfully we finally did get some precipitation in the form of SNOW!  February 6th it started and by the 7th it was really coming down.  The kids got to get out of school early the 6th and there was no school the 7th or 10th. 

Wesley even got a little work off.  Forced vacations sometimes are the best because there are no plans.  No plans leaves a lot of free time to just have fun and that is just what we did!

I know this doesn't sound like too much fun but I got to shovel the driveway two times early in the morning.  I loved it!  

I loved that I had time just to myself and I loved that it felt kind of like exercising.

The kids and I tried to build an igloo which didn't work at all so we built a big mountain of snow instead.  

The kids and Wesley built a snowman. 

We went early in the morning to get warm apple pies and hot chocolate from McDonalds and let the kids get some of their wiggles out indoors.  

We snuggled and watched movies together.

Church was cancelled so we held mini church at home which was actually really special.

It was just overall so much fun!  

Not to mention our kids, well all kids really are adorable in snow gear.  

Kinsley Queen of the snow.  

 The kids loved the trampoline with snow on it.  It was actually so much fun!

 

Snuggles and Movie time.

I always love the snow!

I also always love when it melts and life resumes to normalcy.
