Do NOT let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

So it's been super snowy/icy in Lake Stevens since Sunday (December 14). It was so icy on Sunday that we couldn't make it to church! We went up a couple different ways and our tires were spinning so we went home. Crazy! Brent was able to make it to work Monday and Tuesday, but by the time Wednesday rolled around we had a LOT more snow. His work was open on Wednesday, but only about half the people were able to make it in (and they were the ones that live right by Seattle). It kept on snowing and his work ended up being cancelled on Thursday and Friday. Now it's Saturday and ANOTHER storm is starting right now. We are supposed to get another 10 inches tonight and tomorrow! So I'm betting church will be cancelled tomorrow.

On Wednesday we were both stir crazy from being trapped in our house so we decided to go out on Thursday. I called South Lake Pizza and Japan Teriyaki to see if they were open so we could walk up and get a calzone/teriyaki food. I talked to both places and they were open. So we got on our snow clothes and set out.

We got to Japan Teriyaki and it was CLOSED! Seriously, I talked to them twenty minutes earlier and they were open! So I was mad and pouting a little and told Brent I wasn't going to eat anything. We went to South Lake Pizza to get his calzone and he ate it there so it wasn't frozen by the time we got home. I eventually caved in after I saw how good it looked and I ate some of his calzone :) After that we walked over to Tom Thumb Grocery and got chocolate milk and Brent got baby doughnuts.

We got home and I shoveled off the driveway again. Brent had done it earlier in the day, but it had snowed more so it needed to be shoveled again. Then I decided I wanted to build a snowman so we could have a big snowman in our front yard for Christmas!! But as I started building the bottom I realized how long it actually takes to build a big snowman (I guess I didn't have a realistic idea since I have only 'helped' my dad build them) so I quit. We still had a pretty decent size mound of snow so we made it an igloo for Macie, who had come out to join us by that point. She was kind enough to pose for a picture and then she wanted to go back inside. She is definitely not a snow dog.
