Yesterday we awoke to a complete white out. As we stepped out the door there were 6" at least on the ground. We really got dumped on. But....we had tickets to take Owen to see SEASAME STREET LIVE! (thanks Joanne & Tom). So we packed in the truck,dropped Lydia off at Grandma's with the her basic needs and headed south to Pittsburgh. It took us 1/2 hr longer to get to Cranberry to grab some lunch. In the 20 minutes we were parked the roads were almost bare!!!! We saw 1 snowplow the whole way to Cranberry Twp,and he was getting ready to get on the turnpike. It was AWFUL! I think that I prayed the whole way there and home.
Once we got closer and closer to Mellon Arena it started to rain and the snow was no more! YEAHHHHHH. Owen stayed right with Daddy and kept needing to go potty (mommy didn't even give him lots to drink). So we weren't real sure what Owen's thoughts of the show were. He watched. Got a toy and was ready to get back in the truck. He was asleep within 10 minutes of being back in the truck. Mommy thought WONDERFUL!
We got to Cranberry again and I checked out the Party City Store there to get some things for Lydia's party. Got some dinner. And headed back home. This time via Rt 19. Got to see lots of new things....then we hit Mercer County and my praying BEGAN again! AWFUL Roads.
Once back to the farm all fears were gone. And Lydia was more excited to see Owen than I. Seems like Lydia's trying to wean herself in the past 12-24 hrs from me...which is okay!
Today we got a call from Troy's parents asking us to lunch and to go get our flooring. We whisked away yet again today. Roads weren't too bad. I wasn't much hungry today, but the kids and Grandma & Grandpa LOVE the Golden Corral. Then headed to Home Depot and purchased all the goods for replacing our kitchen floor. Guess we're going to wait to do the hallway, unless we have extra. But definately waiting to do the bathroom. It's not as bad as the kitchen and with the children it's going to continue to get wet.
Owen wants to play out in the snow, but I think he's entirely too tired today and it does need to get a little warmer than 25 degress for me to take Lydia out. Daddy's milking today and feeding cows, then will be home for a nice warm cozy evening. Hopefully the Steerler's win their game this evening.
We have no plans all week except EHS coming Wednesday. So I think I am going to start cleaning and getting ready for Lydia's party on the 24th.
