Wow, we have had lots of snow and lots of fun in that snow. Our neighbor Fuma (pronounced Fooma) made a cool igloo with the kids and a giant snowman, which we call a snowmonster. Gillian loves Fuma, whom she calls Mooma. "Can I go see if Mooma is home? Oh yeah, and play with Donovan?" She has a new buddy and feels very at home over there.
We did end up going to the kids' school today..... and sled on the hills there. They had a blast.
But the biggest hit was the igloo. They played out there for hours while I locked myself in my room and wrapped presents and worked on their secret project.
And in the igloo
It was super super cold today. And there's supposed to be a huge storm tomorrow. Snow and high winds with gusts up to 90mph in the foothills. Hope we don't get a branch through the roof again. Anyway, we've got to get our generator ready for the power to go out like it does almost every year. Now that we have a generator we probably won't lose power. All of the stores were jam-packed today with people gearing up for the storm.
It's amazing how the whole landscape is transformed after a snow. It's peaceful and beautiful.... until you see all the people who don't know how to drive in the snow. I'm getting ready to hunker down for the weekend.
