Better late than never...




Well, after a disappointing day yesterday of literally canceling all schools due to the "huge snow storm" coming our way and not seeing ONE snowflake (at least in Redmond), we woke up to a winter wonderland! Everything was completely white and the snow was coming down like crazy! Being that I am completely obsessed with snow, I of course started running around the bedroom waking everyone up (by everyone I mean Rocco and the dogs:) and have yet to be able to go back to sleep (that was before 6am). I honestly don't think I have seen this much snow in this area... EVER! It started snowing at some point in the middle of the night and it has yet to let up even once! And it wasn't like we had any snow to build on, that had long since melted.

I love these days that actually FORCE me to relax. I am a non-stop "go-er" so its been nice to be "snowed in" and just hang out with my boys. Needless to say, I am caught up on my gossip magazines, updated on facebook (and now our blog), I got a fresh coat of paint on the nails and toes, plucked my eyebrows, got caught up on my email, finished wrapping all my presents... Okay, I know it doesn't seem like I have been doing all that much "relaxing," but this is actually my way of relaxing. I am not very good at sitting still. :)

After a while, we DID manage to get a little big of Cabin Fever so we took the dogs outside to see what they thought of all this white stuff. I thought that because of their short coats and of course the fact that they are very much indoor dogs, they would be shivering and by the door in about 3 minutes. Wrong-o! They had a BLAST! We literally had to drag them in after about an hour. Now they are both curled up sound asleep! So here are some pictures of our "Snow Day!" I hope you are all staying warm, enjoying the gorgeous scenery, and driving safely for those who have been on the road...

Cheers!
