EVEN MORE SNOW

I guess the weatherman wasn't quite telling the truth. It was supposed to rain this afternoon, but guess what? NOT!!! It is still snowing as of now (8:12pm)and it is snowing pretty hard. Thank goodness mama did the grocery shopping yesterday.

Mimi is very excited about the snow so much that mama is having a hard time putting her to bed.

Mama: Mimi ! It's time to go to bed!!!
Mimi : But, I want to see the snow!
Mama: It will still be there in the morning.
Mimi: But I want to see SANTA!!!

MORE SNOW

This afternoon quite a bit more snow fell and is still falling at this hour. One can see a lot of kids outside making snowmen and snowballs. Mimi wanted to go to the park, so both mama and papa took turns pulling her on her snow disc. Once at the park she had a blast having snowball fights withe Erin.

SNOW

Early this morning Mimi came running downstairs yelling "mama it's snowing!!!" The weatherman was right for once.

So on with the snow clothes. The sad part is it will all be melted away by afternoon. The weatherman says that we should be expecting rain. Mimi says that if that happens we won't be able to have Christmas without any snow. ;-(

NEMO AND STANLEY

This afternoon mama caught Stanley taking swipes at the fish bowl. Thank goodness mama put a covering on it because Nemo is driving Stanley absolutley NUTS!!!

HEARTBREAKER

This afternoon mama went to pick Mimi up from school. There were several other moms there while the teacher shared this story with me.

The teacher said that Mimi was outside and was found holding her head in her hands. When asked what was wrong Mimi replies that she misses her sister in China. Mama then explained to the ladies there that we are in the process of adopting Mimi's mei mei from China.

Mama also shared with them, that our friends Erika and Miguel are adopting again and we are all in the same group. Mama explained how Naomi is praying to God every night to watch over her little sister until she gets there. Our Mimi always tell us how her mei mei is calling to her saying "Mimi, help come get me!"

When it was time to go home, the moms were saying aaaawww, patting their hands over their hearts and tearing up.

WEATHER UPDATE

The weather gage now says 37 degrees and it is only 4:00. Another mom at Mimi's school says that they (DOT) is putting on the chemicals to keep the streets from icing all around Lake Wilderness which is not far from our home (approximately 5 minute drive). Either way, mama has her camera ready in case it does snow tomorrow.

POSSIBLE SNOW

The weather station said that we may have snow tomorrow. I believe him because it is most definitely colder than usual outside. The temperature gage says 41 degrees but I think it is colder than that.

Good thing mama did the grocery shopping today. The store clerk says that we had a pretty good snow season last winter right here in Maple Valley. Papa seems pretty pleased too because that means the ski resorts will open soon. Some already have. This weekend Mimi's ski's will be ready to be picked up. She will be one busy little chili pepper this season with school, gymnastics and skiing.
