Snow Days

We have enjoyed a couple of snow days, yesterday and today. Cameron got to come home early yesterday, and is working from home today. We've gotten a ton of snow, we made donuts, and have enjoyed being snuggled up in our warm house! This morning Cameron thought he'd get out for some early morning basketball at the church gym. He took my car out to see how it handled in the snow, if we needed new tires (they are supposed to be all season). About 7:30 I get woke up by a hubby that couldn't wait any longer. He said he tried to stay downstairs, but he couldn't any more, he had to wake me up and tell me. He wrecked my car. (his words, not mine). Turns out the tires are NOT good in the snow and just as he was getting to the church he spun out, the back wheel hit the curb and bent in. It's totally un-drivable, he got a ride home from a friend (they didn't even get to play basketball, not enough people showed up!), and called for a tow. Poor guy was so nervous to tell me, I felt bad for him! I did have to tease him a little, that he always manages to ruin MY favorite cars (like my NEW car, the day of our wedding!...another story for another post). But really I was so grateful that he was the one to test drive it in the snow, I hate driving in the snow. It could have been so much worse, we could have all been in there, it could have been Kai and I, it could have involved another car, somebody could have gotten hurt....there were a lot of other scenarios that could have happened. So we're back down to one car for a little while! Oh well. At least we know now! And even though he's the one that wrecked it, I'm the one that feels bad that he was so scared to tell me :( I guess I'm a big fat meanie!

Shoot! I'm so sorry about the car! Oh how I hate car repair costs, and only having one car.

We're finally back up to two cars, both of which do great in the snow so PLEASE call me if you want a ride anywhere! (especially the grocery store, it might inspire me to do some food shopping, which COULD translate into me actually cooking!)

Brando and I drove around EVERYWHERE last night, just to get to drive in the snow, so please please please call if you've got a bee in your bonnet!

Oh man, I'm so glad we don't live in the snow! Glad everyone is ok :) I've been in an accident in the snow, not fun, very scary! P.S. Jarom would have been totally scared to tell me too!

Poor Cameron! Tell him I'm sorry- I hate wrecking cars! Hopefully you'll get it fixed soon so you won't be car-less forever again!
