Please Move Here Anyway

I don't want this post to be a deterrent to anyone who is thinking that Colorado is the place for them. It still is the place for them. I've lived in seven states previous to Colorado and I'm tellin ya.... CO is as near perfection as you're going to find. It's practically translated.

Its one flaw (aside from the crazy $$ to register a car) is these random, ill-timed snow storms. I mean really? An October 27-29 snow storm? Why must you? I'm not saying a good snow storm isn't fun, I just wish you'd wait until it was expected & anticipated. Not before I've even had a chance to rake the leaves.

All that being said, it has actually been a really fun couple of days. This is the second day that school has been canceled and we've hunkered down & enjoyed it for what it is. Gty is out of town (he has impeccable timing, doesn't he?) so it's just been the kids & I.

JBird led the crew in a fort building exercise. It didn't amount to much but they tried. I think it ended up being a fort big enough for a rabbit or other small rodent.

TBone's first order of business was to go get all the snow off the satellite dish. His reception was getting all screwy and he (read: I) can't have that on a snow day.

Beebs joined in & can actually hold her own in the snow this year. Last year walking around in it was not so easy. Her snow fun ended yesterday with a snow ball to the face but, you know, it was fun while it lasted.

My fave pic I took with my phone from up on the deck. BeeBee's first snow angel!

Here are the Top 5 Reasons I Love This Snow Storm:

5) I stayed up way late on Tuesday night watching The Biggest Loser so I was happy to wake up, check my email on my phone next to my bed and see school was canceled. I turned off my alarm and went back to sleep until 10am. It was bliss. The email saying today was canceled came last night so I stayed up way too late again catching up on SYTYCD and then never even set my alarm.

4) I had just gone to the grocery store. I have plenty of Diet Dr. P, GoGurts and chicken nuggets to get us through.

3) Tons of stuff has been canceled....and I love a ton of stuff getting canceled. YWs, scouts, TBone's TaeKwonDo, helping in TBone's class, etc. Ahhhh...it's like a vacation at home.

2) I burned a bajillion calories shoveling off the driveway. Snow blowers are for chumps (::looking into getting Gty a snow blower for Christmas::)

1) I've been wearing jammy pants for two days straight and haven't started the car since Tuesday. This made playing a board game with my kids actually enjoyable because, c'mon, what else do I have to do?
