Whomever it was who told me that we still had 6 weeks till snow a couple of weeks ago LIED!!! There's snow on the ground & we haven't even Trick or Treated yet. Holy cow! It sprinkled a little dusting where we live earlier in the week, but when I got to work they had a prettier scene. This is what I saw on my walk from the parking lot into work:
(And yes, I do get to park in the parking lot right outside my unit. No more shuttle busses for me! WooHOO! lol) Pretty right? So no problem. It melted by the afternoon. But THEEEENNNN... I guess this massive "Nor'Easter" came through last night & dumped a lot of snow all over the northeast. (I still have to figure out what the heck that means!) So as I was leaving work last night it was already snowing like crazy & I had at least an inch on my car. Forecast said about 5" was projected for my area, and about a FOOT for where I work! OMG! I mean, don't get me wrong. I knew we chose to live in Vermont & I knew the snow was coming sooner or later, but C'MON! It's October! Anyway, when I woke up this morning, there is mayyybe 2" on the ground outside. So hopefully there really isn't 12 in Lebanon. (But I don't have to go to work again till Thursday, so I don't really care! lol)
So our plan for the day today? Play time! :) We haven't decided yet if we want to go sledding, or what, but I'll be sure to share pics later. :)
Last weekend, though, we had a lot of fun. The town right next door to us has a really nice indoor ice arena and it just opened for the season. So we decided to go ice skating. Can you believe Mathew has never been in his whole life?! That's just wrong! And though Kansas City has a really nice skating rink downtown, we never were able to go because it was not at all convenient for us living an hour away. So we went last Sunday & it was so fun! The boys were a little apprehensive about it at first. So they held on to some milk crates for stability. Looked kinda silly, but it worked! Little Gavin? Oh my sweet man. Ugh. He doesn't take on a challenge very well. He tends to think he needs to be perfect at everything the first time he tries it. So he got really pissed off when he wasn't immediately gliding away like Brett Hull. But he finally got the hang of it & then I couldn't keep up with him! lol Here are a few pics:
Sorry they're a little blurry. As it turns out, iPhone pics aren't made for action shots! lol
And, (if I can get it to post correctly) here's a video of Miss Natalie giggling her way across the ice:
(Woohoo! I did it!)
Pretty darn cute. So that's all I've got for now. Hopefully I'll have more progress to share with you on the house before too long. (This snow though is going to make that part all the more difficult! Yikes!)
