Snow Storm!!

Okay...I LOVE ALL THE SNOW!!! Brad and my F-I-L, Allen, were out side this morning shoveling for about 20 min just to get to the car!! They measured almost 2 feet! It snowed about a foot and a half last night and it is so beautiful out there!! I am so thankful that we are getting snow. That way we won't have such a drought this spring and summer! It's even sweeter that my SUV is almost completely covered! I'll have to put some pictures on too! When Brad let our dog Plum out, she had to go pee soooo bad that she booked it out the door and halted to a stop at the end of the porch, looked around, and then looked back at Brad and gave him a look as if to say"you want me to go pee where?" Brad then told her to go and she dove into the snow and disappeared! She's black so all you could see when she pranced up like a deer were her ears and tail! Poor girl had to bounce in a circle for a while just so she could squat enough to not be sitting in snow to go!! Hahaha.

I think school will be closed today. It is North Idaho so it would take a lot of snow to close our schools! They figure if you've lived here for a winter then you should have it figured out by now ;) ! Ohhhh....I am so happy for the snow! You probably think I'm crazy, but if it weren't in the negative degrees we'd all be out there! Plus we have a monster Mountain Lion that moved down with the deer , so since we saw monster paw marks we have to be a little cautious, you know, carry a gun outside when we let the dog out and such. They like dogs around these parts. Sad I know, but it's likely nothing will happen, but once in a while it does, so we just take a lot of precautions. So that is our joyous winter fun in North Idaho!!

I am wondering who else is having a monster Snow Storm going on! What does is look like where you are? You people in warm place.....keep it to yourself ;) just kidding, you can share so we can dream of a warm place while we are out and about in the freezing temps!!

Okay, so I had to stop because my babe woke up and so did the kids, but I just wanted to finish my post and go finish cooking my sweet potato. pumpkin pancakes...mmmmmm, they are my kids' favorite pankcakes now! So school I found out is offically closed and so are most of the businesses! So we are going to enjoy a day at home. The kids playing at Nana's , Brad cleaning, and me....well I have a ton of sewing and present making to do, then I think we'll watch Horton Hears a Who again and drink some hot chocolate! Hope everyone else enjoys this day!!


So this was suppose to be our snow storm the first time....

Plum with her curious look! It's too dark, I took this early this morning, it was cold and windy so I didn't have the flash on and I really didn't care because I was in my jammies still..brrrrrr. The snow is already past our porch!
