Today's Weather Forecast Is . . .

I got home from the gym this morning (ouch), and my 3 youngest kids had done the most marvelous thing! They'd cleaned off the driveway! You might be wondering what they had to clean off the driveway; was it mulch, stones, maybe grass from the last lawn trimming? None of the above! It was SNOW!!
Friday, for Halloween, we didn't even have to wear coats. It was like California weather (only in Utah)! Then, today, only 5 days later, we got our first sticking snowfall. We had almost enough snow in our yard to make a snowman. Almost. Instead of making Frosty, Carson spent his time filling up our emergency "poo" bucket with snow for hours on end. (The bucket is for when we have disasters and our toilet doesn't work. The plan is, we will go potty in this bucket called the Lugabaloo; for now, however, we just use it to make iceblocks when building igloos in the snow. I sure hope that our bucket isn't buried in the snow when we actually need it for something other than igloo building.) I couldn't believe Carson didn't get cold and want to come inside sooner! I guess the snow is good for something -- entertaining children!!

I can't believe you have snow already. That is one thing I do miss about leaving in Idaho. But what I don't miss is all the bundling up you have to do and wet coats and things everywhere. The poo bucket is a very interesting thing to have around the house. I guess when emergencies happen you have to be prepared.

That amount of snow probably would have been enough to cancel school here. We are having our winter weather as well right now - RAIN! My mom said it snowed in Ohio recently as well but did not last very long. Can you believe it is already November?!

Maybe you should carry a Lugabaloo while running. Do they make them portable? Haha!
