poor us

This is what I faced this morning going out to the hot tub. It's been nothing but snow and negative temps all week, so alas, we chose to turn down the hot tub and wait until more humane conditions.

It's tough to be a spoiled Westerner, but somebody's gotta do it. As long as we have your sympathy we'll get through these impossibly tough times...

Gotta go and get the cookies out of the oven before they cool off and we're forced to eat them--oooie--cold.

hail, hail

Waiting for the vans for the rafting trip

It was cold.

And we were tired from getting to bed at 2 a.m.

and having to be at the park by 8:30 this morning.

It is awfully quite nice to have us all together, even for just overnight. They'll be back on Thursday, and I will feel awfully quite nice once again. For a lovely little while.
