The Magnificient Weekend Snow!

The surprise dusting of the valley was gorgeous over the weekend. We wondered if we could get down the driveway for our dinner out without a full out shoveling ...we did. Lowell shoveled off the steps and with the car parked down on the cul-de-sac it worked out well.

Our date was really fun we ate, relaxed, laughed and shared a time of uninterrupted, full-blown sentences, it was great! I can so remember that when our kids were little. Just the simple process of finishing a complete thought was such a blessing. It was as refreshing as the new fallen snow.

Beautiful street corner

Christmas in March!

Chris and Owie going into church

I spent Sunday with Chris and Missy at church and then for lunch and dinner. It was a fun, relaxing day. Church was exceptional. I laughed my head off watching the kids (all six of them) getting aerobic with their Wii. I have to admit that the hilarious part was watching Chris and Missy jumping rope and running in place in front of their big screen! Very fun and funny! The beautiful snow was practically gone by day's end. :-(

The Snow Trip and The Survivors

Getting there!

Well, they made it home safe and sound. It snowed, wet gooey snow most of the time. At one point Jim slipped and told me it was "terrible" aha...I knew it. But then he quickly corrected himself and said the night's sleep was terrible, ahem...but they had a super great time.

Yeahrite, Baby!

Maybe what it is they just have to get far far away from home and hang out with the guys once in awhile and they choose things that no woman in her right mind would want to do just so they don't have to say, " Sorry, I'd rather just go with my friends, Honey!"

The accommodations

But seriously, I think I am offended that given the choice of sleeping at home in our warm comfy bed with me or sleeping here ...he picked here! What on earth? No tent just a tarp on a rope? Good grief! He said it snowed so much that the tarp kept getting closer and closer to his face all night. Ummm, fun! At 2:00 am he woke up with a call from nature...more fun! Hot dogs, chips, a rotten apple and a day old piece of toast with peanut butter...I'm feelin' the love, are you?

I do get it and I can see how they love it and
I am so happy they went, they are home safely
and they made some fun frozen memories together.
I would never deprive them of their bonding moments~
Nor would I ever horn in on them.
That is the way is is supposed to be! Right?

Viva la Difference!
And I'm singin'...I Enjoy Being A Girl!
