snow. snow. and more snow.

So did you hear that it snowed a little bit?

Monday night/tuesday we got about a foot of snow,
and then yesterday's predicted "flurries" turned into 4"-6"...
so we have had about 16" of snowfall this week.
It's an all time record for Tulsa! *sigh*

Usually we get one good snow of a few inches or so a year...

Tulsa basically CLOSED for a few days :)

Yesterday was our 11 year anniversary!
Our babysitter was able to make it over
(thank you Hannah!)
so Ryan and I ventured out,
praying we didn't get stuck or slide into anyone.



Half of Tulsa is still CLOSED.
We tried to see a movie but the heater in the theater was out.
So we ate dinner
(we found an open restaurant!)
and then went to a mall,
but only about 5 stores in the entire mall were open.
We ended up having pie and coffee and a long chat at Village Inn,
which was very relaxing
and we caught up on a few things :)

There were some stuck cars and trucks,
several ambulances and fire trucks were out rescuing,
we gave rides to 3 people that were walking,
and Ryan helped push out a car that was stuck in the snow.

Then we walked through Target to grab a few things,
they were out of most neccessities
(like bread and milk, I think all of Tulsa is OUT,
thankfully I stocked up before the snow hit)
but we WERE able to grab the last 2 boxes of hot chocolate
and a bag of marshmallows (score).

The kids have been home all week,
and we have watched movies,
and cracked up watching America's Funniest Videos (a family fave),
and finished puzzles and baked and played games...



the kids spend 10 minutes getting dressed in warm clothes
to play outside for about 10 minutes...
then come in and warm up in the bathtub.



Our washing machine broke this week,



but no one can get to us until at least monday,
and we are running out of undies and towels...
we may be hitting the laundromat this weekend
(if we can find one that is open).
:)

I've been dring LOTS of coffee,
and we discovered that Eden likes to lick her pop tarts.



More snow is predicted for sunday and wednesday!
(I hope they're wrong.)
