Valentine

Scott had class Thursday night. He got home from work at 6:25, then left the house at 7. Needless to say, we didn't celebrate at all. He DID however, come strolling in with these beautiful pink tulips (and chocolate!) cutest husband:

Thursday night, while we were dozing into slumber-land, I asked Scott what his favorite meal is (we don't really do favorites here) and he said (so out of the blue) lasagna. I've never made him lasagna, so naturally felt like the worst wife and was determined to make him the most delicious lasagna ever.

Friday, I slaved making a lasagna from scratch (except the noodles. I have to draw a line somewhere. it already took me long enough). It was this recipe if you're interested. It turned out so divine and Scott was in heaven. We wined and dined and enjoyed our day after valentines.

You probably heard.

We had a little "snowpocalypse" over here in the Northeast. 

Our town got 27 inches with drifts at 4-5 ft tall.

SO. MUCH. SNOW.

It felt like I was a kid again, frolicking in the cold mounds of fluffy snow.

Scott got home from work early Friday (noon) and it had already been snowing for 3 hours. We snuggled and watched shows pretty much all day intermixed with game playing of course. Saturday morning we woke up to this:

that's our car under there.

At this point it was still snowing. For at least 5 more hours. So we stayed in our jammies all day, made hot chocolate and french toast and lounged to our hearts content:

After a much needed TV show binge, we donned our snow gear and walked over to a park near our house. It was so picturesque! People making snowmen, kids sledding, us making snow angels and trying to swim through the snow. It was perfect.

Combined between Saturday and Sunday, Scott shoveled snow for probably 8 hours. He loved it. He says he would always see this kind of thing on the news as a kid and wish he could be where the snow was falling. His wish came true big time. 

Mostly I was just envying our neighbors with their heavy-duty snowblowers.

This was this morning:

next to our building

our backyard

just a big ole' box of snow.

Overall, it was actually a great weekend being able to hangout all day and not feel bad about it. Thank-you Nemo!
