Happy Hour at Home

What a week!!

Snow, ice, power outage, no school for 3 days.  We had a lot of good family time playing in the snow, playing board games when the power was out and just hanging out.  But today, we escaped our house, went sledding with some friends at their house and my husband was very glad to go to work.

Kids are in bed, hubby is out with the guys and I'm making myself a margarita.

Happy Weekend Y'all!!

Happy Mail Day

I have an Amazon wish list that I like to keep more for me, but I know that my family likes to see the kinds of items I would like to have.  I am in need of more serving bowls because I'm not a fan of bring the pots of food to the table, I like to have pretty bowls even if it does mean more dishes for my hubby to clean. :)  I had added a few bowls from Crate and Barrel to my wish list before Christmas and since I didn't get any, I went back to the C&B website and oh happy day, my set of bowls were on sale!  So while they were marked down quite a bit, I still had to pay shipping.  Not of fan of shelling out extra for s&h, but hey, it happens.

So here are my happy new Parker bowls from Crate and Barrel :)  I was having fun and stacked them to take another picture.  Kind of looks like a honey comb.

Oh and that snow....my kiddo went to school today, but I had to pick him up early.  Massive miscommunication with the school district.  Yippee!!!  It's snowing and I think gonna stay around awhile.  I'm happy for 1 snow day, the whole week.....not so much.

Happy Snowy MLK Day

Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day!  Lucky for us, the snow has fallen and school is out for the holiday so here's hoping for no snow days.

Yeah right, with what the weather people are predicting around here, it might be a very long week of going nowhere......

Day 69

This morning, the snow was still hanging around because the last two days the temperature has been in the 30s. I looked out the back door and noticed how the snow was still sparkling with the sun peaking through the slats of the deck. Even though the snow has been around a lot more than usual this winter, I do love how peaceful and quiet the world seems as it snows.

Day 57

Winter just won't give up the ghost this year. This is the scene we awoke to this morning. Notice the trash cans sitting up at the end of the drive way as today is also trash and recycling day. Hopefully the trash will get pick up tomorrow or later today as the snow is not supposed to stick around.

Day 2

I understand it's January and normally there is supposed to be snow during the month of January, but come on, I live in Seattle, it's only supposed to rain here.

We received around 10 inches of snow around Christmas, so yes, we had a white Christmas. The rain came and melted all the snow away, but wait...it came back (cue Jaws theme song)

After a chilly day of running errands where the sun shone and the snow came down, this was on my back deck this evening after dinner. The texture is similar to Dippin' Dots ice cream. Vanilla anyone??
