It's Raining It's Pouring!!

We are receiving an abundance of rain right now, one forecast said we would get up to 7 inches this weekend. I believe it. It has been non-stop downpouring! With high winds. The news said the gusts here in Hillsboro were about 30-40 mph winds. But at the coast the were getting over 100 mph gusts! There is major flooding all over Portland. These are the days you just want to stay inside! Luckily we are in an area where there is only large puddles. So we can just look out the window and watch and be greatful we are in a nice warm home!
Also on Sat. morning it snowed for a couple of hours. It never stuck but it was fun to watch the big snowflakes. Malia and Gunner loved watching it snow and Malia was really disappointed that it wasn't a lot of snow to play in and make snow angels. One funny thing though, after watching it snow for an hour, I had the news on, and Malia came running up to me and very excitedly said "Mom, the news said it is snowing!"
