It's COLD Outside!
All week the weather-people were doom and gloom about the gigantic storm headed our way. I refused to believe it, they're usually wrong, right? So, Friday night, as I stood in line (for 45 minutes) at WalMart, I cursed all the frantic people, buying "essential supplies" to make it through the "horrendous snowstorm". All I wanted was a nice, calm grocery shopping experience.

So, Friday night, as I stood in line (for 45 minutes) at WalMart, I cursed all the frantic people, buying "essential supplies" to make it through the "horrendous snowstorm". All I wanted was a nice, calm grocery shopping experience.I woke Saturday morning to the most glorious sight, large, white, fluffy snow, wait...look closer, it's POWDER! Sweet Glory, it was wonderful! I am positive that we were the only ones from our neighborhood that "dared" go out in the weather, Hello...do you have any idea who empty Target was? It was awesome! We even witnessed a girl with garbage bags tied over her boots, protecting her hot pink Uggs...wait, aren't they for winter weather? It was hilarious!
We ran our errands and hunkered down. At first we began with sweeping the snow, while at the store we picked up an actual snow shovel (hey, don't mock, we've never needed it before!) And before too long it was time for Hazel to experience the beauty that is powder.
Peach Pit's first big snowstorm went a little like this:
Dad would go out and sweep the snow away every hour.
After enough begging, Hazel was allowed to go out in the snow (me begging Seth)...but only after she slipped into her Deadliest Catch Survival Suit, the gumby suit!
Hazel quickly realized she was not tall enough to stand in our front yard, yes...she is standing.
Not to worry, she still likes her dad, even if he did abandon her in the snow.
Seth mentioned his back was aching, in fear of having him throw it out again (we all know how lame it is when that happens!) I generously offered to shovel. Okay, okay...I love to shovel!
The snow continued until well after midnight, and Seth was out nice and early taking some pictures around the neighborhood, here's a few of the house (secretly I just want to show off my cute wreath I made) :)
Church was canceled so we relaxed and enojoyed the snow as much as possible!
We ended up with over 2 feet in 24 hours at our house...best early Christmas present!I was able to work on a ton of Christmas crafty-crap, it was perfect. Pictures of those...well, uh...they're coming :)
