Snowpacalypse

I took a few pictures of the recent snow storm that swept through this state, and just thought I'd share them. These are just a few quick shots from outside my front door. I thankfully didn't have to drive out on the ice, it just so happened that I had the week off of work. (Well I was scheduled to work on Saturday, but I had food poisoning all day Friday and am still recovering from that. I haven't had my stomach hurt that bad for that long in a very, very long time, if ever!? It was not worth missing work, that's for sure!) Anyway, back to the weather ...

My power went off Thursday morning just after I laid Riley down for his nap. I called my mom to check if she had power, but she also was without. She had said that my brother was offering to drive her to lunch, and I asked to join in on that deal. Long story short we ended up going to Red Robin for lunch. It was a nice meal, with good conversation (though my mom accidentally spilled her diet coke all over the table and onto my jeans) . :) As we were wrapping up, the lights went out. Pretty much everyone groaned or said "oh man!" It was kind of funny. We didn't care, because we had finished up, but got Red Robin Bucks out of it. In all the commotion I forgot to ask for a balloon for Riley. I promised him one too. Later, I know he won't let me forget that easily. ;)

Well, to bed I go. It is so comforting to hear baby snores coming from the video monitor. He is such a noisy sleeper! :)
