Well, ladies! How did you fair in the weather? I loved your snow picture, Amber! I wish had been able to let Shea play in the snow, but we tried to go for a walk at about 3:30 today and it was just too cold!
I went to work yesterday morning, and by 12:30 when I left, a car was already in the ditch vertically and people were crawling on the freeway at 2 miles an hour. It took me a while to get home, but I love the snow so much! I do not love losing the power so much, though. We lost the power at about 6PM last night (just after we finished making dinner, thankfully!), and didn't get it back until late this morning. I'm thankful though, because some people we know who don't live far from us are still without power tonight.
So I basically had nothing to do but cuddle up, light some candles, and crochet!
I made a hat for Shea:
Its a tad bit too big (the pattern I went off of was not sized for a baby, and I double checked my gauge), but it was a fun quick project and I think I might make a couple more for the new babies on the way. You can't really tell from the picture, but I did a green and rusty orange (looks sort of red here). Shea even got a compliment when we went out to the grocery store :) yay for me (this is a place for bragging, right?) or maybe it was just Shea's cuteness and had nothing to do with the hat.
Anyway, my dad ended up spending the night last night, because he got stuck in Bremerton and power was out everywhere. I couldn't believe the wind and how many people were skidding down the hill by our apartment. It was so cold that Shea was waking up all night, because either he was too cold, or too mad that hthe blankets were on top of him. In the end, he slept in our bed most of the night, but BOY is he a bed hog. I slept in the strangest positions I ever have just to avoid waking him up and staying on the bed.
I am VERY happy to have the power back on, but we had fun out in Silverdale getting breakfast and playing at the mall (Shea had the entire play area to himself). I enjoyed not having to go into work today, and Jeremy just did a little bit of work from home.
This is me happy to have my espresso machine working (eggnog latte, anyone? mmm).
What are you girls doing for your first married Thanksgiving?
Aww I can't believe you lost power! We didn't at all - a blessing since our house is already pretty cold without insulation.
ReplyDeleteWe're spending Thanksgiving with Joe's parents this year. And I can answer for Angela - so are she and Paul!
Shea's hat looks great! I'm thinking that next winter I will start crocheting again (school is taking up too much of my time right now).
Yes yes I am spending Thanksgiving at my in-laws! This weather has been crazy. We haven't lost power with the snow but we did lose it in that windstorm a few days ago. Paul's store lost $60,000 worth of merchandise. I can't even imagine. Shea's hat is adorable! I need to learn to crochet from you girls!
ReplyDeleteOh and I am jealous of your espresso maker!
ReplyDeleteYou should have Amber teach you, Angela - she taught me :) I was totally having flashbacks the other night, because Jeremy was trying to crochet too (he used to do it up in college), but he does it so strangely, it just looks so difficult! But he doesn't understand when I try to show him the right way. And then I remembered how I used to do it really weird too when you were teaching me, Amber. haha.
ReplyDeleteOH and I'm glad you guys didn't lose any power! And have fun together with your new extended family today! :)
