Here we go with round two. Hopefully I can get everything straight. All the snow days have run together in my mind and I can't remember which day is which.
We'll start with Tues. Spencer had headed up to Olympia the day before just in case he had school.
We spent a quiet morning watching it snow and looking at the temps, hoping it would be cold enough for the snow to stay. Around 3pm Tressa showed up with her gang. We had planned on having Heidi over for dinner. She was worried about the roads later, so took a rain check. I'd promised calazones and so I delivered on that. I'd also invited Peyton to spend the night. Spending time with Isabell is better than $100"s of dollars of therapy for the boy. And, Isabell had wanted someone to play with her in the snow. As the evening went on and with the snow, Tressa decided to just spend the night.
Doug took Peyton and Isabell outside at night to play. They had so much fun. It was dark, so not many good pic's.
I had given them some little flash lights since it was dark. They loved it. They'd throw them in the snow. We had 4 plus inches and then they'd follow the light and dig through the snow to find them.
Doug also took them sledding. We held up the flash lights so they could see where they were going. The temp was dropping and snow was getting a bit of a crust on top. Was a fun evening.
The really big snow fall started around midnight. We woke to 18 inches of snow.

SNOW DAY
This a two part series on our 4 snow days.
The first big snow of the season hit Sat, Sun.& Mon On Monday I ended up having to drive all the way to Des Monies by Sea-tac for a job at 10am. I was worried, but roads ended up being just fine. Then Doug and I met up at Tressa's and hit K-mart for some 90% of Christmas trees and paper etc.
Then we head home to enjoy the snow, It was just us and the Hunt family to start with. On Sunday Melia and Spencer took the girls outside for some family fun. Then Doug joined them for sledding rides and fort building, I Took pic's and work on some inside stuff.
Isabell hanging on to Ellie for their first sledding ride. |

Isabell was more interested in eating the snow than holding on to her sister. |
