Ok, so I'm sure we're just like everyone in the Western States, but we have just been getting dumped on with the snow. Ryan's school and the kids preschool were both canceled yesterday, I think the kids will be canceled again tomorrow, and since they don't plow the roads it is a nightmare getting anywhere. I went to pick the kids up from school today and spun out of control 2 times and got stuck on the side of the road. The first time these 2 nice men stopped to help, and the second time, luckily I had a friend driving close by so she stopped to help me. It took us like 20 minutes of trying and then I flagged someone down to help. I hate driving in the snow, and I don't think I'll ever take it for granted that Utah has such nicely plowed roads.
This picture bellow is what every road looks like. It is so dumb. That's my one complaint about Spokane. I think it's so weird. PLOW YOUR ROADS!!!!
This is a random picture thrown in of the kids in their pajamas, their clothing of choice.
Anyway, It was fun in the snow though, since Ryan didn't have school he and some of the other law students took the kids sledding. There is a park near our house with a big hill. It was pretty icy but the kids had a blast and came home afterwards to hot chocolate and donuts. I stayed home with Davis and we got to relax, although I have to admit I was sad to miss out on the action.
So here's to hot beaches and at least 50 degree weather (or even 20 degrees for that matter). If I ever take an exotic vacation it will definitely be in the month of January of February.

Winter Wonderland (to put it nicely)

You are SO not alone! I'm so freaking sick of the winter this year. Usually I like it. Maybe it's extra sucky this year because it's extra hard to get out with a baby when it's so cold. I can't wait to enjoy outdoor parks again. It seems like a dream.
We are in the same boat here, tonz of snow and i am so done with it!! Fun for your kids to go sledding with their dad, i love sledding! Good luck today driving, that is so scary!
seriously PLOW PEOPLE what is the dealio.
I am with you! I need warm weather and a beach would be heaven. I have tried to stary positive about the snow but I think I am officially done trying to be positive. It needs to go away for this year. Cute pics of kids. And I am glad someone came to your rescue with the car!
Well I am beyond sick of the snow. I go running in it every morning, and I don't have regular socks (just the ankle kind)and the snow gets on my kankles and freezes them. Oh and then I am always worried I will fall. Yesterday my friend fell..it was sad, but part of me laughed cause I could see myself doing it too. (That sounded mean didn't it.)
I know exactly what you mean about not plowing the roads. I felt just the same and was amazed that my little town in Tremonton had more plows then the city of Spokane. I'm so sick of the snow but at least our roads get plowed now!
We've actually gotten a lot of snow here too which is unusual for Boise. Not to be mean to the Spokanians, but I always felt like it was a little behind the times. For example the rutted freeways? If you came out of the tire ruts you felt like you were going to fly into another lane. And the snowplow thing is weird. Then again I haven't seen a lot of snowplows here either. But on Boise's behalf it usually only snows twice a year. So what's Spokane's excuse??
fun katie:) i keep seeing stories about you on cnn... for reals they keep showing pictures of spokane! hoepfully it clears up soon, and they learn how to plow their roads.... that's what we pay taxes for right? so get on it spokee:)
Winter Wonderland is right!
I think the snow is beautiful- and the kids playing in are even better. Fun pictures!
