Speaking of snowed in, I wanted to take this chance to post some more snow pictures! We have had about a foot or so of snow here, which is unusual for the Portland Area. It definitely slowed things down, and we've been housebound for the most part for the past week. Our car actually does great in the snow, and we ventured out a couple times for food, etc, but everyone else was slipping and sliding and we figured there was no need to get ourselves hit, so we just hunkered down, did tons of crafts, baked tons of cookies, watched lots of Christmas movies and played in the snow. Sounds like fun, huh? Other than the fact that we need a full finished basement with a play structure so the kids can burn some energy, and a Wii for J and I to burn some as well, we did pretty well. Cabin Fever never quite got to the level of the Overlook Hotel, so that's a good thing.
Some snow pictures!
Our house
our sled ride down the street to Albertson's for supplies. The kids thought it was so fun to be sledding in the street! That's our house right behind J's head
This was on the bigger street... NO sign of a plow anywhere! Not even on Main Street or the Freeways!

On Tuesday we ventured out and this was Hwy 502, getting to the freeway. It was absolutely gorgeous - a total Winter Wonderland!
J worked hard to shovel our walk. It was funny, we were the only people in the 'hood that did so. I thought we had to, but maybe that's just Portland. Plus it was nice to just be out there, moving around

Yesterday it snowed more, and we played in the backyard. J and the kids were having a blast tackling each other and having snowball fights (or as Jason says, "no-ball hits" )

Poor J's hard work shoveling the walk was wasted :(
