School was canceled before there even was any snow! Sheesh! Happily we got a bit of the white stuff to keep the girls busy…

Dude took #2 up to go tubing yesterday. We used to go up as a family but my oldest refused the last time that we begged her to try tubing. Now she and I lounge on the couch while Dude trudges two hours in crappy weather to go sledding with my youngest. The price you pay for some good snow around here… but worth it I’m sure! They had a great time and really #1 and I had a fine day of lounging on the couch and watching movies. It all worked out.

It snowed which means there is no school. I know… if you live where it often snows you are laughing at the amount we got. I grew up in Illinois so this barely seems like snow, but in Oregon this could be all we get for the year. My girls are wise and get out and in it early! Waking me up at 6am to tell me is snowed might have been unwise… Oh well. Hopefully they will crash soon from the excitement of it all and the relaxing can begin.

Oh… and don’t forget to check out the sale I’m having at the Mart.

My kids were out in it at 6:45 a.m.

This is just a little crazy… I want Spring!

Later…

Okay… maybe I just want the snowman diet…

Yesterday I went on a great hike at Mt. Pisgah with some friends. The view at the top was beautiful! It was also fun exersize since we got to chat as we walked… always a good combination.

Then this morning we all got a treat of snow in April! Bummer! Oh well… I plan to sit next to my kiln in the shop for part of today so at least I’ll be warm there!

We had a snow day today so the kids are home… but I’m still busy making beads. I’ll have new goodies in my store tomorrow morning.

It was a two day trek to get home… and when we arrived our power was out… but finally we seem to be settled in.

I was busy making some boro beads for Tuesday when it started to snow. It doesn’t snow here in town very often and I just keep looking out the window to watch it fall… hopefully it will stay all night so the kids can run amok tomorrow!

We drove in crazy ice conditions, had to chain up, and the kids started asking “How much longer?” about thirty minutes into what turned out to be a three hour drive… Would I do it again?! Of course! It is our annual trip to the snow, next year we might even get crazy and stay overnight, the girls seem to think they need to learn to ski. Anyway, it was a great way to spend the last day of 2007. Happy New Year everyone!!
