Snow Finally

I think most everyone thought we were going to be bypassed for a little snow this time.  First it was supposed to begin at 3:00 p.m.  And then 5:00.  Then we see maybe 6:00.  Elise came in from the grocery store and said she saw only a flake or two, so we didn't check outside any more until bedtime, and when we did, the ground was covered, probably about 2 inches.  I think it snowed during the night, because this is what I saw first thing this morning.

It continued pretty steadily all morning, but I only have pictures from these same windows.

Layla was interested in going out but not by herself, and she didn't have any volunteers to stay with her.

The Steller crew were totally excited and hyper and spent most of the day playing and going in and out and drying clothes and going back out and drinking hot chocolate and hopefully have wound down by now.

I like the touch of a seashell necklace on this snowlady.  I hear it was too powdery to do much building with.

So that's the first school snow day and probably tomorrow too since the temperatures are still at freezing now.  There's a lot of ice under the snow, and Emily said I should not worry at all about going outside.  I don't have to be reminded!

 It's so nice and quiet and beautiful.  I really wish it would come and go though and get back to safe driving and walking, because I think there's going to be another big storm Friday.

I took this from the Snoqualmie Ridge FB page.  So pretty.  I might try to find some more pretty ones since I have the same view year after year.

I also found this.  Someone asked why there was a baby kangaroo being strolled around in Safeway.  Looks like Elise went a day too early.



There's a wallaby farm up the road, and I guess this one must have just needed some alone time.

I need to text Emily and find out the plans for tomorrow.  I know where I'll be, but I don't know who will be with me!
