Daniel's First Blizzard

Growing up in Colorado I have become accustomed to it's weird weather. One minute it will be sunny and the next... blizzard or down pour or tornado. So when the weather man for casted 2 entire days of snow, freezing temperatures and wind- I got nervous. You know? The sky gets that special 'blizzard grey' color. It almost gets a tiny bit warm and everything is very still. That's when you know something is about to strike. Low and behold, Colorado didn't let us down. We woke up to a blinding blizzard. I automatically worried about the roads. "We'll be fine" - said Daniel. Ha ha, honey have you ever driven in this? I mean like total white out. Don't know which way is up or down, left of right? Sure we'll be fine.

He checked his e-mail. RVU canceled school. His first snow day in 25 years! His FIRST one! I was shocked. It took coming to CO to understand the beauty of a snow day. We watched Elf and made yummy hot chocolate- it was awesome. Of course, Daniel studied the whole time, but what do you expect?

It really did snow constantly. Granted the roads were better Wednesday than they were Thursday and we really actually would have been ok on Wednesday. But when Thursday looked even more gloomy it was a whole different story. Daniel was amazed. Two snow days - in a row!

I have to admit that it wasn't Colorado's finest blizzard. There wasn't feet upon feet (that comes in the spring...). But the roads were a nasty shade of ice. I do love this state.

So here are the pictures Daniel took as he tromped around on his second snow day of his life: Don't you worry honey, there are more to come :-)

And It Was ... !

So after we had our night of total indulgence I was down at my parents while Melinda was visiting, and I made a comment on how wonderful Ben and Jerry's Cake Batter ice cream was. So we all got to talking and decided we were really hungry for ice cream. Thanks to Melinda and Brett they went to the store and brough back probably 5 cartons of ice cream. Naturally we all grabbed spoons and dove in. Who needs bowls?! It was a great night!

Daniel was in Parker studying for a huge test:-( Which he did really well on! But he totally missed out

Its Gunna be a Great Night

This is what happens when Stephanie is too tired to cook and she goes to Wal-Mart for a window scraper.

Yes, it has been snowing all day. Where is the scent of fresh baked bread and homemade chicken soup, you ask? Yeah- it's in someone else's house tonight.

As for Daniel and I? We will be enjoying a fantastic night of pizza, ice cream and Transformers- possibly cuddled up by a fire, but lets be honest gas fires are expensive :-)

Hope you are all having an equally enjoyable night!

Toodles!
