*S*N*O*W*

I told the boys they had to build me a snowman!  But I guess the snow wasn't packable =(  I got a 1-story snowman that was a head:

You can see the snowflakes still coming down - it snowed for a good 10 hours today!

Brady posing with the snowman or maybe 'running' behind it?:

We measured 12 inches in different places today.  Craziness for snow amounts in the Seattle area.  I saw a hummingbird 2 days ago and defrosted the nectar and put it back out during the day time but haven't seen him since.  But this little guy was around a few times today:

Our week consisted of: no seminary all week, 2 hour delay for school on Monday & Tuesday, no school on Wednesday in anticipation of snow (and there wasn't any, nor was it icy!) and no school today or tomorrow & no basketball Wednesday-Saturday either.  Early Christmas break - all is HAPPY because tests, essays and homework are delayed =)

Flooding

That's a lot of water!  I am always amazed at this process - how does that much water rise up over the roadway?  This happened before in 2006 and was worse because all roads were closed & Duvall was an island!

There was no school on Thursday & a 2 hour late start on Friday (no seminary those days either) this week and it decided to be clear & sunny at about 10 am - it was a beautiful day in November!  School was closed on Tuesday for Veteran's Day too - kids had a short (which really translates to GREAT) week ;)
