Snow Day, Part One

This has been quite the week. One week ago, they warned that snow was possible. This is always exciting for me because I love the snow. I usually don't have to be anywhere and I get to stay home with the boys.

While there have been some *discrepancies* with the forecasts over the last week, snow has pretty much been a constant. For days and days and days. Five days with only two hours of school. Yes, two hours. They closed at 10 o'clock on Thursday morning. And from Monday to Thursday, Travis was freezing at The Dalles Dam, so it was me and boys, in the house for the entire rest of the time. And, there appears to be no end in site. I know those of you in places where snow is more frequent laugh at the crazy northwesterners and the world is ending reaction to a little inclement weather. Of course, we laugh at your fear of the rain. That's just how it goes.

The excitement grew on Sunday as the snow started to fall. Once there was enough snow to play in, the boys were quite happy to venture outside.
It was pretty typical Portland snow: not too much work was required to find the pavement.
And there was just enough to have a little snowball fight with Daddy. Why yes, that is his new Carhart jacket.
Ry's implementing the sneak attack approach - if he can't see you, then you couldn't possibly see him.
