Snow Day!

By
Seattle usually gets one or two snow storms blow through each season and this year looked like it was going to be a bust, especially since Puxatawny Phil came out last week to say Spring was around the corner. Well, we shouldn't have let our guards down because we got a doozy of a snowstorm on Sunday night!

The snow started right around when the Superbowl kicked off and was off and on until about 11am on Monday morning. The result was about 10 inches of snow for us - easily the most we've gotten in our house since we moved here. School was cancelled and the girls were deliriously happy and had a marvelous time playing in the powdery snow in the morning. By the afternoon though they were pretty stir crazy and there was lots of yelling and crying in the house. 

The sun is out today but the temperatures will stay below freezing. Schools are out again. The weather is forecasting below freezing temps most of the week with another possible snowstorm at the end of the week. Yay for a few more weeks of winter!

Between 8 and 9 inches at about 8 am in the morning.

Pretty fun to be the first ones to make snow tracks
 
Snow was too powdery to make a snowman.

Happy new year!!

Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

Eating on the road

By
With all the COVID restrictions on restaurants and Scott not liking takeout service, we've gotten pretty good at planning meals for days we are out and about. We've basically taken to tailgating... a lot! It is nice though that it means having a hot meal to warm up after a day of playing in the snow and I'm not going to lie - it is also a good excuse to eat instant noodles because it is fast and easy and warming!   For overnight stays, we end up doing instant pot meals like one-pot spaghetti or chili, or easy meals like a cheese plate or sandwiches. It does save on $ so that's definitely nice but man, I can't wait to go out to restaurants again! Beef and barley soup lunch at Mt Baker. Chillin' with Chili at Crystal Mountain. Beautiful but cold picnic in Wenatchee Little girl loving her hot ramen over Blewitt Pass Jook after sledding at Crystale Springs Chicken Noodle Soup in the snow at Salmon Ridge. Pho bowls under the ferry awning at Diablo Lake.

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.
