The Big Freeze

I've totally been slacking on my blogging, but last week we had the most fabulous weather.  
It snowed like crazy!!

The first day Nick and I had a bit of a spat because when we woke up the roads were covered in snow and he wanted me to iron him a shirt for work... I, of course, am more experienced in snow and knew this would be unnecessary because there was no way he was getting to work... an hour later his work called to tell him they were shutting it down for the day!  How good is being right?  I think I like it more everyday.  He had to tell me "touche" and it was the best touche ever!

Sorry Neener.... you win some you lose some!




But even better than getting to say "I told you so...
was we got to have a snow day together!  
It was so fun!




Heidi had a really fantastic time with her dog friends too.




And then my friend Stuart came, from Australia.  I was pretty worried he wouldn't make it because lots of trains and buses were canceled, 
but he did and I don't think he's ever seen this much snow in his entire life.


We ate snow, and made snow angels, and tarnished untouched snow.  
I passed down my Grandma's favorite piece of snow day advice to him 
"Don't eat yellow snow"
 And then we did it again.

The day was even prettier because the skies cleared and it was nothing but blue for miles.  
We walked around the reservoirs and we hiked up a massive hill and went into this really old stone church that had tombstones from the 1700s.  But of course I forgot to put my memory card in my camera so there are no pictures of that.

The snow isn't so pretty anymore.  It's mostly just a lot of ice.
Oh well, Nothing gold can stay - right Pony Boy?

Winter Wonderland Fun!

I had the most fabulous day today!

We've been getting a couple little taste testers of snow, 
but this morning we woke up to the real deal.
Luckily, (or unluckily) today was my first day of funemployment again
 after my 5 week stint of being temporarily employed, but to be honest, 
I couldn't have had a better day!


I bundled up and the Doodle and I had the most beautiful winter wonderland walk.  
Nick warned me not to bring my camera 
because I'd probably fall and drop it and break it.  
I told him I've never fallen in the woods and I just couldn't resist... 
I just had to share it with you!  

Note: I got bulldozed over by a huge boxer dog Heidi was playing with.  
I fell and I hit my head pretty hard, don't worry I'm fine, but karma is a bitch, no?





I'm sorry I always take pictures of my dog, but she is a pretty good model.  
And by good model I mean I've taught her to sit and stay....

The rest of the day I went back to my Martha Stewart ways.
 I've been cooking up a delicious storm.  More on that later.  
Also the carpet fitters came today, which means our house seems half livable!  
I've never been so excited about carpet in my life.  
And I painted the bedroom wall with glitter!!!  
I promise to share all these things soon.  Ahhhh the cliffhangers!

Hope your day was plenty fun too!
