Snow way am I going out there. Again.

Okay, I did it. I bundled up and went outside.

.

I donned my Norway coat and my Alaska boots and went

into the freezer that we have been calling the front yard.

Danny thinks that Virginia BEACH means

.

"Jacket not required."

.

I think the man is part polar bear.

Morgan insisted on shoveling the sidewalk.

Melissa dragged out the beach toys.

And promptly abandoned them.



I am so Proud of my Citizen of the Month.

Isn't he much cuter from the front?

I wanted pictures of the house, so I went outside.

.

Oh the things we do for a layout...

.

.

But, there is SNOW way I am going back out there. It's cold.

All Beaches are NOT the same.

Day before yesterday I was walking down the beach in Cocoa Beach, Florida.

It was 73 degrees, sunny and gorgeous.

My legs and sides are still sore from the walk.

(Yup, I am that out of shape. Plus, walking on sand is WAY different from walking on pavement.)

Today, I am staying inside because I am in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

It is 28 degrees, cloudy and snowing.

We haven't gotten real snow in years.

It is beautiful.

It is also really cold, so I am bundled up.

I am not a cold weather kind of girl. I love it hot.

Here is the view from our front door:

The sign is for Melissa being citizen of the month. Yay Melissa.






And from the kitchen windows:



Melissa made me post this one. She is thrilled with the snow on the table.





Poor little squirrel dropped his acorn and had to sift through the snow for it.






And from the windows in the back of the house:


Not sitting in those chairs any time soon.






You can see the deck peeking out at the bottom. It's raised about 8 inches.







The back of the snowman that the girls made earlier today:


You can barely see the carrot nose.


If I can get them to take pictures, I will post more.
Because I am so NOT going out there.

Update on Blizzard 2009.

Yesterday was spent indoors. We watched the inauguration of the 44th President of the United States of America. The girls watched IGOR, played games, argued with each other and snacked. We all watched "The City of Ember" and "Ghost Rider". And the whole time outside it was cold and NOT A SINGLE SNOWFLAKE FELL OUT OF THE SKY.
