Is COLD!!!!!!
I'm telling you, I'm still adjusting to the weirdness that is living in a mountain/foothill/not-flat-like-Illinois region. Last night it was COLD. Like, really cold. And rainy. And just kind of blah. It rained all day - on Kbear's birthday no less, but that's another blog. Anyway, it rained and rained and rained. My sister-in-law Terri came up for K's party and said they had snow all the way to Dufur (I know I've told you I didn't name the towns, stop laughing) and last night on the news they were calling for snow in all the passes, and along the entire Cascade mountain range.
SNOW???? Did someone say snow? I love snow. Snow rocks.
So imagine my disappointment when I woke up this morning and saw that we had only gotten rain, rain, and more rain. And then imagine my amazement when I hopped into the car to run Banana up to school and saw cars coming down the hill just COVERED in snow.
*Imagine me raising my eyebrow here. If I could do that. Pretend I can.*
I was puzzled.
Apparently when you live in Oregon, a little bit of altitude makes a big BIG difference. At our house, we had rain. Not even a mile up the hill at the elementary school, there was snow sticking to the grass. Not too much farther up from there, the foothills were absolutely covered and just beautiful.
Strange.
More to come. I have to recap K's birthday. The kids have been sick and we've been busy, but I promise we'll get all caught up later.

We had snow here. It was really awesome! Though it didn't stay too long and was all melted by lunch time.
