Snow Days

Well we have been stuck inside the house for about three days due to the snow and ice storms outside!!! It has been crazy.

It started Sunday, with a bit of snow... that is when Shad took Owen out for his first snow adventure. Owen LOVED every minute of being outside. He loved making a snowman and "really biiiiig snowballs!" Then Monday hit with more snow, luckily Shad had the day off due to Martin Luther King Day, but we braved the mild snowstorm and stocked up on groceries that day just in case. Good thing we did because Tuesday hit with MORE snow, but Shad and my mom both braved the weather and went into work, while I stayed in with Owen. Then came Wednesday...EVEN MORE SNOW... and lots of it. We ALL stayed home yesterday, it was not safe enough to get anywhere. And today we have been now hit with freezing rain and ice storms, which has made driving conditions even WORSE! Shad is still at home today working from home (luckily he got access to his work station!) but is planning on going in later after the ice melts a bit. All the schools, government buildings, and my doctors office (So lets hope I don't go into labor anytime too soon!!!) are closed and people are staying inside! Luckily we have remained with power, internet, food, and warmth. The only thing we are missing out on is TV... and I can't say that has been too big of a sacrifice.

Just when Shad and I thought we were in the CLEAR of no snow moving out of Spokane. Maybe its us... because record breaking snow seems to follow us EVERYWHERE. UGH! (I've blogged about our winters in Spokane...Seen here and here) Geez, we have the snow curse!

Here is Shad and Owen playing in the snow on Sunday. They are so cute.


Owen was saying "Yeah Daddy! Yeah Owen!"



Helping pat down the snowman:

I know he is kind of a sad looking snowman, but Owen sure had fun! (Now all you can see of our little snowman is the top of his head... he has been buried in snow and ice!)

Here are some pics I took this morning of the ice... really pretty even though its so dangerous.
