Day Forty-one Feb 10th

 I'm pretty sure this is the last measurement I got before the snow started melting. For us, that's a whole crapload of snow.

The kids decided to make a snowman late on Monday night. There was no school again that day and I guess they wanted to get some play time in before going back. I'm naming the snowgal Chesty LaRue or maybe we should go with Hooty McBoober!. Either way, it totally cracks me up they made her "womenly."

The last pic is the reason I HATE snow. it's messy and dirty and a real pain in the ass. I was suppose to go to meet with my adviser at college today but they cancelled school. Snow=cancelled events.

Day Forty Feb 09

These are some of my favorite pictures of the snow. They are animal prints that I got from the snow drifts that went onto the Martins carport. It just warms my heart to know that some little creatures walked the same place I walked. I know, I'm strange. At this point the bear is all covered.

Day Thirty-nine Feb 08

I usually leave a heat lamp on for the bunnies during the winter. They sure appreciated it these days. I couldn't understand why they had these dark patches on there fur until I realized they were burning there fur on the lamp by being too close. Dumb bunnies.

The little bear only has a tiny hole to peek out of now. It's been snowing off and on for two days now. We made it into town to pick up Grace but it was slow going. Again, Rosie, drove like a beast!

Day Thirty-eight

So here is day two of the snow. I really hate snow but I do like it a little when it's falling or when it's dark out. Today is Friday and everyone has the day off school except Larry, of course. We took a trip into town to drop Grace off at a friends and driving was slow going. Larry got Rosie, our GMC van running and it drives great in the snow so Larry drove like a champ. Of course, the second we didn't have snow, Rosie died again. The poor little bear is almost covered up.

Day Thirty-seven

Feb 06: The first night of snow. It started while I was at work around 10amish. I watched it snow all morning. The kids at school were amped, to say the least. I got a text from Ben around 11 telling me Mac school had been cancelled. Our school didn't cancel until right before third lunch so around 12:05. We finished up in the kitchen and I made my way home at my normal time. I was driving the Saturn and I had a heck of a time getting home. The streets in Newberg were bad but once I passed the honey house it was a little more clear. Larry went on to work that night.

This picture is of the little bear we have on our porch. I'm sure the picture was taken late at night so this was the accumulation for the day.

Day Thirty-six

Only the cutest little girl in the world...well, one of them at least. This is Annabelle, our niece. Bekah and Abby babysit her occasionally.

Day Thirty-five

Chloe has decided to join the circus and be a walker on top of the turtle tank. Something Jon and Viki discourage as the turtle will bite her and the water contains Salmonella.
