Snow Day!

If it was a week day, I really think it would be a snow day. But, alas, it is Saturday. The Twin Cities are experiencing a snow storm reminiscent of the Halloween of '91...as in, we haven't seen something like this since then! I've been taking pictures of the growing snow. The first is a picture pre-storm (last night, 10:00pm). The second is a picture from this morning of Chris shoveling (about 9am) and lastly, a picture from this afternoon (2:00pm). You'll notice that I couldn't even really open the door all the way to get the picture because of all of the snow on the stoop. Crazy!





So we've had a lovely day holed up in our house. We've been really productive, actually, working on making our basement more pleasant. My next task is to make my usual holiday Oreo Balls (once again, thank you Casey- for getting me hooked on them for me SO many years ago! hee hee).

This Morning Callie was playing in the living room, so I thought I'd snap a picture highlighting our Christmas decorations.


We haven't gotten a real tree yet since we've been in our house, and this isn't the year to start. Maybe next year when we have a child who understands the word "no". (I realize that in the future she may not LISTEN when we say no, but hopefully next year she won't laugh in our faces when we say it like she does now!)
