No End in Sight

Local Weather > LOCAL WEATHER ALERT for Manassas, VA (20112)   

Winter Storm Warning for Prince William/manassas/manassas Park, VA

from 12 pm EST, Tue., Feb. 9, 2010 until 7 pm EST, Wed., Feb. 10, 2010

* ACCUMULATIONS... 7 TO 14 INCHES.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...
I drove by the school today because we wanted to go sledding (no where safe to park).  It hasn't even been plowed yet.  The street in front of it hasn't been touched (driven on, but not plowed...we almost got stuck...three times).  Add another 7-14" on top of that.  Sigh. 

Good news, though.  The storm has convinced me that we should have a generator (Rob jumps up and down, thrilled that I have finally conceded).  And Rob is almost convinced that an SUV would be more reliable than a new minivan (I shout with glee, although this is several months down the road).

We have been enjoying our beautiful surroundings...

Should we play a game of  "I Spy"?

  • Before and after the snow
  • Our new kitty (she's cute as can be)
  • Friendly Neighborhood Snowball Battle
  • The most sinful dessert in the world.  I've never tasted a carrot cake better than this one.
  • The most "Saint"ly pudding pie with peanut crust (sugar-free and yummy).
  • Our mailbox
  • A carrot nose
  • the BBQ grill.
  • chocolate truffle footballs
  • a displaced minivan in the dark
  • The Kunz family taking residence with the Beatty family
  • More awesome Superbowl food...seven layer dip.  GO SAINTS!
  • Rob's windshield wipers.

    As you can see, we've been busy.  However, we're going to have to get creative inorder to stay busy.

    If it would help, you can do my homework for me to stay busy! :)

    Hey, if you do get a generator, it would be great if you posted about what kind it is, etc. We're interested in getting one, too.

    School, what is school? We have a bet at our house that they will be out for the whole week. I will definitely need a case of diet coke along with your yummy carrot cake recipe.

    Wow, that it is a lot of snow. And I heard you're supposed to get more today. Hang in there! It's a good day to make Valentines crafts/cookies!

    Look at you all collaging. Your little footballs were so cute. I'll have to keep them in mind for next year. Glad you are staying busy...good luck with the next several days.

    I have a friend up here's who selling his Expedition. It's an older model but it's been reliable for them if you want to come to Albany for a visit.

    I actually find it quite amusing that you guys are getting so much and out here in Utah we haven't had snow in weeks. Oh and by the way I just saw your new profile picture! You grew out your hair. It looks so pretty!
