One more day off won't kill us.
Well I was all set to get caught up on lots of school lessons today, to take advantage of the fact that we don't have any where to be today.
Then I looked out the window.
Snow Day!
I actually love snow days. The kids are getting really good about getting their own snow gear ready and on themselves. Then they head outside and play so well together. I stay inside, blast Hillsong worship music, clean like a madwoman, and occasionally replace a fallen mitten. All while glancing out the windows at my kids, who are having a blast.
Feeling much better today about having a flexible home school schedule.
Oh, and just to prove how crazy the weather here has been this week. These pictures are from TWO days ago, when it was almost 70 degrees and the kids were outside without jackets and all the windows and doors were open.

Random Thanksgiving
It seems a little weird to blog about Thanksgiving, since Christmas is only 17 days away. But oh well, here are some of my favorite shots from our trip.
Our first day in Seattle it started snowing. Just a skiff that first day, but it stayed cold and snowed a little bit more each of the next few days. For the most part we stayed house-bound, with the exception of a few trips into town so Brian could work from Starbucks, as the internet was out at the house.
It was the first snow of the season for the kids, and they loved it.
Does anyone else run out first thing Thanksgiving morning and get the local paper? It is our tradition to browse the ads and see what sort of Black Friday deals we can't live without. This year's big theme was cheap tv's, but alas, we didn't head out for shopping. And what's with all these stores starting their sales on Thursday now? Is there no respect for the Thanksgiving holiday?
After stuffing our faces with amazing food, I was feeling a bit guilty. So I initiated an "air squat" competition. Competitors were Pregnant Me, my Dad, my Sister, and her two-year-old Daughter. We're quite the elite group. I made it to 90 squats before I felt like I better not do anything too crazy, and threw in the towel. My Dad won with 173 squats....not bad for an old man!
Our week ended with my Best-Friend-Since-We-Were-14's lovely wedding. It was a beautiful, intimate wedding, and the couple was beautiful and happy.
It was a great week full of surprises and wonderful memories.

Snow Day!!
I am having so much fun right now on our snow day. We woke up to about 8 inches of snow, and all the schools are closed, so we're closed too! It's so fun looking out the front window at all the activity on the street.
Emma is digging forts with a neighbor. A boy is trying to ride his bike down the un-plowed road. Moms are pulling their kids in sleds. A man in his coveralls is snow-blowing his driveway. A teen in shorts is shoveling his. Such a festive, excitement in the air.
Me and my belly are completely content to stay inside, watching it all and cleaning the house without distractions. Maybe we'll even get the Christmas decorations out today!

Snow
It's been snowing all day.
It's finally starting to stick.
I love snow.
Always and forever.
The end.
