parker's first snow day

this is usually where i would do my weekly steppin' out post but the host of that blog hop, mandy, is having some technical difficulties with her site so we're holding off.  look for that post tomorrow {hopefully}.

in the meantime, guess what is going on here in the beautiful pacific northwest?  it's snow day!

SO much more snow has fallen since we took these pictures an hour or so ago.  the grass is now completely covered & everything from trees to rooftops are blanketed in a thick coat of white snow.

p-ray is loving the falling snow.  he has been looking out the window & just cracks up, every time.  when we took him outside he was totally giggly & batting at the flakes. 

snow is always a HUGE deal around here.  i guarantee every school age kid is already thanking the snow gods for the possibility of no school tomorrow, since school regularly gets canceled for even an inch or so of snow.  i'm just loving it because it makes me feel justified in my christmas music marathon & bottomless cup of hot chocolate.  yum.

how about a snow day vote? c'mon, this doesn't happen everyday around here.
