And it Just Keeps Coming Down

So here we are five days later, and WOW lots and lots of snow. NO school ALL week (one little head fake on Thursday...ultimately they cancelled). We are officially calling it a three week winter break. We have spent a lot of time consoling the kids who are just heart broken having been out of school for an extra week (yeah, RIGHT!!!).

It really has been totally amazing. Unlike anything I have seen in the 12+ years I have lived in Portland. We are getting around town right now with just the Suburban chained up. My car has been parked up at the corner for most of the week (minus a couple of small windows I was able to sneak out and get to to work).

Today it snowed like it normally rains ~ it just kept falling and falling!! I think we have at least 6-8 inches around our house. The kids had some friends over today and braved the elements for a little sledding time outside. The freezing rain is supposed to show up tonight so I'm thinking we will be indoors for most of tomorrow.
