Never-ending Winterland

My AZ friends and family...laugh as much as you want! Here is our deck 'heater' looking more like a marshmellow on a stick! The snow has been coming for a week now. Some periods light enough that Shane was able to sleep through the night (one night) and other times he was able to take a day rest. But for the most part, my husband has been gone plowing non-stop. There is no end in sight either...whew.

Although I don't mind the blizzard conditions in the evenings when Shane is home and we're able to snuggle in as a family with a nice fire, the rest of the time my cabin fever sets in and I become very restless. So I started looking at airfare today...to go somewhere, anywhere. Even feeling nauseous and fatigued...I'm willing to brave the travel to escape the grey gloom and slush. Shane loves our 'Stooges'. Usually they only make Halloween debuts, but this year we dressed them up with holiday hats and they stayed out through the year's end. I bet they're sorry!! They are waist high in the white stuff.

Hopefully we will have a few days where the freezing chill lightens and its warm enough that we can get out to sled. We braved it at my dad's on Sunday and only made it down the hill 4 times before heading in. Hardly worth getting Finn all bundled up. Poor kid just cried "outside!" when I brought him in. He LOVES to be outside...just like his mommy. I'm a fair weather girl. I loved CO because we'd have storms like this...difference...the SUN would come out and it would be beautiful again in 5 days max. The snow would remain...on the mountain tops - beaming with heavenly beauty and bright BLUE skies. Did you even notice the color of the skies in these photos??? We're looking at over 2 wks of no sun. NO SUN. : (

So I'm taking down Christmas decor, planning play dates and finding ways to get through without pulling our hairs out! Happy winter everyone.
