Well the month of November was filled with cold and colds and lot’s of turkey!
First Maisie was up all night with a new tooth and then a couple of days later she was up all night with a cold. Then of course Fi caught it. Once the two of them got over it both Greg and I caught it 10x worse then the girls did. Now of course I’m happy that the girls weren’t as sick as us – but let me tell you – two really sick parents taking care of two energetic kids is NOT FUN. I ended up taking a day off work to try and recoup. I actually stayed in bed all day – I can’t tell you the last time I did that!
Not long after we were all starting to get healthy we had a small dusting of snow – Fiona was SO EXCITED!!! And then just a couple of days later we got a SERIOUS chunk of snow – well serious chunk of snow for around these parts! I left work at 3:30 and it took me 2 hours to go 4 blocks to get on the freeway. Once I was on the freeway it didn’t take me that long at all to get home. Of course once I got home I couldn’t get to the girls! They hadn’t plowed any of the hills in Bellevue and I went and checked them out and they were LITTERED with cars. So…I work in the outdoor industry – I have a ton of gear – I suited up and walked there. It was quite nice walking in the dark in the snow only having to worry about cars sliding out of control behind me! I ended up spending the night at Greg’s parents house (thanking God the whole way that we don’t have daycare!) and GG came and picked us up in the morning (it took him 4 hours to get home!).
