Snow!

So it snowed all day yesterday and we have over 6 inches of snow here. Tri-cities completely shut down because they had an ice storm and there was 2 inches of ice on everything including the freeways. No one was allowed on the freeways. Alex and his brothers didn't have to go to school today. They are lucky. I really don't like the snow because I hate driving in it, but it is beautiful to look at and even more awesome when you get to miss school. It is supposed to snow more tonight, so the boys might miss school again tomorrow. Sweet!

In other news...funny story. So a couple days ago we couldn't find our cat, Moo Moo. I got really worried because the food bowl was full and he is the fat cat, so he eats a lot and the food is usually almost gone every day when I get home from work. Alex, the boys, and I searched everywhere in the house. We couldn't find him anywhere. We looked outside too and it is freezing here, so we thought that if he had gotten outside he would try to get back in ASAP. There are also coyotes around and lots of people lose their cats to them so I was worried that he would get eaten. I started crying of course because this was very unlike Moo Moo and I was thinking the worst. Well...Del and Daneen, my in-laws, are getting a fireplace put in their family room and workers had been here all day, so we also thought that maybe he had escaped when they were here. But as I started on another search around the house for him, I heard a bell up in Dexter's room where the new pipe for the fireplace was just put in. I called for Moo Moo, but there was no sound. I walked downstairs to the construction area and another cat was walking around and starring up at the ceiling. I asked the cat what was wrong and then I heard another bell. I called Moo Moo's name and I heard a meow. I walked around to the other side of the fireplace and looked up to see Moo Moo's little face peering through a small hole in ceiling next to the fireplace pipe. Apparently the pipe had not been sealed off in Dexter's room earlier that morning and Moo Moo was curious and crawled into the small space in the ceiling between the 1st and 2nd floors. When the workers arrived, he was still in there and they didn't know and they sealed off the pipe with him inside. So...we had to go up to Dexter's room and open up the pipe seal and pull Moo Moo out. He was VERY dirty when we pulled him out, but he was so happy to stuff his face with food first thing after he got out. Curiosity almost killed the cat this time. We love you Moo! Silly cat.
