Let it snow!

Today started out so lovely! Sunny, not too cold, what a beautiful morning! Ros and I headed to Michaels and had some fun there and then all of us were off to the outlet mall! I admitted I was in denial about the predicted snow, it was just too nice! We had the most lovely time in the mall. Delanah loves her grandparents so much and just lights up in their presence. We hit all the stores we wanted to and then Delanah decided it was time to nurse and boy was she tired! They wandered while waiting for us and when we met up we realized something, not sure if it was rain or snow at that point, was coming down...boo! I bought a small umbrella and after a quick stop in the loos and lolly shop I was off to get the car and pick them up. The verdict? It was snow, and a lot of it!
The drive home was not the most pleasant thing I have ever done. It took us a little over 30 min to get there this afternoon and almost 2 hours to get home tonight! The first part of the drive I could barely see the road! It was coming down so quickly that the light from our headlights was reflecting back. I just followed the tail lights in front of me and kept at a nice 20-30mph :) The second half consisted of the speed not registering on the speedometer as we were traveling so slow! Oye! We were SO glad to make it home! I think it was more scary for Ros and Bruce than for me. It was just plain annoying for the most part for me!

On a bright point though, the forecast has changed and there is to be no snow falling tomorrow morning, picture morning...yay!!!! It will look so nice to have our pics taken in the park in the snow! So much for planning our outfits so well! We shall all be covered nicely in our winter coats :) I'm thinking of heading out tomorrow morning and getting, for the ladies at least, matching touks :) Fun, fun! I think we're all going to tuck ourselves inside all day and stay warm and have a nice last day with the Aussie Grandparents. Over 70F yesterday and up to 18 inches of snow by Sunday....gotta love Colorado!
