This past weekend, we found a great deal for a twin bed for aides on Craigslist, and snatched it up. On our way back we decided to stop off at Toys R Us to use my $20 in rewards off any purchase. Figured we could get some organization stuff to help him keep his legos up or something. We lucked out, because as we found out when we hit the Northgate Toys R Us, everything was half or more off. We bought the girls some early birthday presents to stash away at ridiculously low prices, and found great bed for Jason for less than the craigslist price. We snatched that up, and when we went outside, it was snowing like crazy. And that was just the beginning of our wild weather week. We had to make a run to the Bellevue library, for a project due on Tuesday – of course not due till we get back now. Then back to Toys R Us to haul Jason’s bed home. Now Both boys have new rooms. I got choked up taking the crib apart for the last time, and packing away the baby things. But the boys were so happy when we were done!
and Aiden’s
On our little Kenmore hill, we got an inch or two of snow on Sunday, got a bit more monday, then sat in the snow shadow for about 24 hours, till tuesday night when it started coming down like crazy. We got about 4 or so inches, then it just kept coming. Wednesday night it turned into freezing rain for a bit, but by Thursday it was back to snow. So here we have inches of snow, with 1/4 to 1/2 an inch of ice, covered by more snow. We haven’t driven in a few days, and everyone here is enjoying the forced winter vacation. All the kids have been sledding and building a snow fort, drinking nearly a gallon of hot chocolate. Us adults are just hoping the power stays on!
