....built a snow giant...
....made homemade hot chocolate (twice)...
....and homemade ice cream from snow in our front yard!...
It's amazing how creative two people who spend their lives working 12+ hours a day get when they can't go to work and start to lose their minds! I finally had to get out this evening and braved the roads just for dog food. They turned out to be much improved from my inital attempt to drive in snow on Thursday...
I was heading out Thursday morning for work...we probably had 2 inches of snow at the time...left our street and made my way to the freeway, slid of the road slightly, made sure my heart was still beating and finally made it up to the freeway. I was having trouble stopping and decided the roads would only get worse - I would work from home. I made the turn to head back to the house (a different road than I can from in attempt to keep driving straight and not have to turn around). Well, I missed the sign and ended up passing it. I had to turn around and chose a driveway that appeared to be cement. Nope. As I was trying to back out, my tires spun into a mud ruts and I was stuck. Took a little maneuvering, but I worked my way out, got home, and didn't leave for two days!
The first inch of snow was pretty, the second required soup, the third was fun and demanded a snow man, the fourth made me unable to drive and missed my hair appointment this morning, and the fifth made Stella disappear when she went into the back yard. Every inch after that just sucked!
