Snow Fun

As I am writing this post in Spring, I can't believe just how many snow storms we had this winter. It seems like every week we at least go 2-3 inches. A couple times, we had major snow storms that averaged around 10 inches. It was one of the most long and cold winters I can remember. Lucas and Cody both love the snow so we had fun sledding when it did snow. I am just not ready to see any snow for a very, very long time.

Here are a few pics from one small snow fall we had in January:

Over 40 Inches of Snow

In one week, DC was slammed with over 40 inches of snow! This caused the federal government to close down 4 out of 5 days in the week!

On Thursday (2/4), I went to Costco to stock up on food and a few bottles of vino. It was the craziest I have EVER seen it! My company gave us the word on Thursday afternoon that we could work from home on Friday. It began to snow on Friday in day and continued to snow through late Saturday night. On this snow storm, we received about 28 to 30 inches in Arlington.

On Tuesday, it began to snow yet again! It did not stop until late Wednesday night. This left us with an additional 12 inches. I am so grateful we live in Arlington and were able to get out a couple times and walk to restaurants.

I was very happy to be able to cook a bunch of things I haven't had time for lately. Over the week, I cooked Jambalaya, Potato Soup, homemade pizza dough, sauce and several pizzas, Pulled Pork and a few appetizers. I LOVE to cook when I have the time!

Holiday Blizzard 2009

This weekend hit us with a very unexpected snow storm. We had plans to be with our friends Mike & Katie in NYC. Friday afternoon, we dropped Cody off at day care with the intention of leaving him there for the entire weekend. Around 3:30, Josh was on his way to pick me up from work so we could drive straight to NYC. We were starting to get nervous about the snow coming and made a game-time decision. Josh called Mike and asked if it would be possible to cancel our hotel rooms at the last minute. The hotel was understanding of weather and let us cancel. We then went back to doggie day care and picked Cody back up to bring him home. I have never been to NYC during Christmas and was really looking forward to seeing the tree. Also, we were really looking forward to spending time with Mike & Katie. The weather had alternative plans for us, though.

Here are some photos from the blizzard. Cody has truly enjoyed himself this weekend.
