Snow, oh glorious snow!!

They said it would come, but I thought they were wrong after a week of 60 degree weather. We just got dumped on, big time!! There was over 6 inches of fresh, glittery powder on our front porch this morning. After living in Oregon where it hardly ever snowed, it seemed like a blizzard!! The locals just went about their business as if nothing was amiss.

And, speaking of locals, this town is the most untrusting, excludinig town I have EVER lived in!! wow. The newspaper interviewed a waitress last week--1/2 of a page worth--and she spent over half of her interview ragging on all the newcomers. She even had the audacity to say "I'm not sure how to exclude them from local events". Wow. I am hoping that it gets better soon! I know that this small town has been inundated with strangers and those hoping to make it rich quick off of the oil/gas boom. We will definitely have our work cut out for us!!


Dan is leaving for 4 days. It will be quiet without him around. The funny thing is, this is the most he's ever been home since we've been married! He comes home for lunch and for the most part is home by 5pm. It's been kinda nice! I know that it will end as his caseload increases.

No new scrapbook pages to share. The kids fingerpainted again today, so will have to get that uploaded tomorrow. I make sugar-free vanilla pudding (less sticky) and add justa smidge of food coloring. They can eat it, paint with it, coler themselves and each other...it doesn't matter!! I just toss 'em in the tub for a quick rinse and they're onto their next project.

Sorry Sara - one of my favorite sayings is "PEOPLE SUCK". And often times they do. Idahoans tend to hate Californians but they like everyone else. Im surprised people there are hating everyone equally - Oregon's a pretty decent place!!!
By the way - your a brave mom with the fingerpaint and all!!! ha ha
