Snowmaggedon 2011

An arctic blast from the north and moisture from the south combined today for some wet pavement, snow covered grass and roofs, and a "snow day" for Avery and her friends in the Lake Stevens School District. It wasn't until the evening until the snow really arrived. While dad hit the gym and mom battled a cold, Avery got in a few hours of snow fun. Will there be another snow day for Lake Stevens tomorrow? Will the buses chain up for bare pavement again in Monroe. Will kids have the excuse "I didn't think we'd have school."? Guess it is just wait and see. You never know when school administrators, the meteorologists, and mother nature will all agree.

Superbowl Party

The superbowl party this year was a family affair. Good snacks, twice baked potatoes and bbq chicken sandwiches, salad and Packer cupcakes for dessert. Some friendly wagering and card games filled the day as the game itself made for a great reason to get together.

The kids all had a good time decorating the playroom with Green Bay Packer signs and they managed to play all day.

Thank you to the Packers for winning the game. While we really don't like the Packers, we can't stand the Steelers. Next up...March Madness party.
