Ice on the Snow

Here is a good shot of the 1" of ice on top of the 6" of snow.  Most of it finally melted on Saturday.  Our power came back on Friday night after being off 40+ hours. 
We are finally back to work and school today. 

Monopoly Marathon by the fire

Last Friday the boys and I had a fun game of Monopoly.  We started out with an initial 3 hour session. Then a pause to run some errands and check on some people in the storm.  We finished the game later in the day with Parley bankrupting me when I landed on Boardwalk just after he put his hotel up.  Parley claimed a slight victory over Preston the property tycoon.  It was a fun day.

Our Snow Day Pictures


Slim is a snow ball.

Everything is shut down here in Puyallup.  I have a lot of work to do from home though.  

What a great day!!!!  Check out the video in my earlier post.

Parley at Webelos Day Camp

It is a soggy and cold day.  Parley is having a blast earning his last few skills for his arrow of light which he will receive at our next Pack meeting.

Boys have new dos

Laura refused the new look and went with more of the fish expression. 





The boys racing

A very serious birthday boy and Preston.  


Parley is 11

Parley and I enjoyed a short bike ride already this morning.  He was too excited to ride his new bike any later.  I'll add a picture of him with his bike later.  Here he is with slim.
