January Snow


Since before Christmas, Katie has been asking me when it was going to snow.

My answer to her was this:  "I don't know.  But, I DO know that it better
snow after January 16th because that is when we leave for Disney World."

Mother Nature did not take my hint.

Our first snow of the season was on January 14th.

It was more of a sleet than an actual snow event.  But that didn't stop

We even had to make a snowman.




Overnight, it snowed even more.

I would say that we ended up with almost 5 inches.

Katie dove right in to make some snow angels.




While Mikey just sat and smiled.





Now that we had even more snow, Daddy was recruited
to make an even bigger snow man.




When Katie and Mikey look at this picture, they see a snow man.

I see E.T., the Extraterrestrial.

OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWCH.




Next up, it was shoveling time.

Get to work, mister!




Mikey just wasn't moving fast enough.

So, Big Sister took over.





And then, we were into a full-on case of the whinies.

SUPER POUT POWER!!!!



Did I mention that we were leaving for Florida THE NEXT MORNING?!?!?!

The Seattle area is not known for it's emergency storm clean up efforts.

The jury was out on whether we would actually get onto a plane and fly out in the morning.

Curse you, winter.
