Over it...

The snow that is. We have 30+ inches and we are all feeling like spring can't come soon enough! Friday into Saturday we got about 2 feet and lost our power at around 11 PM. We made it through the night with no heat, I got up every hour to check on the kiddos who never stirred, but by morning it was about 55 degrees in the house. Thankfully we have a wood burning stove in our basement that kept us toasty the following day. Saturday evening we packed up and went to my parent's house so we didn't have to try and keep the fire going all night. The power came on that night and we've been ok ever since!

The first foot. Joe gets the driveway clear the first time.


The morning after... Joe and the neighbors working on finding our cul-de-sac. Driveway clearing #2.

Will showing me his snowball.

Will and Mr. Kevin working hard! Yes, our cul-de-sac turned into a block party that afternoon... there was even beer. We have the best neighbors :-)

Will and Anthony building forts.

Silly kid.

So this week we got about 10 more inches of snow... driveway clearings #3, 4, and 5. Poor Joe.
Our poor little buried house.

Ella eating some!

Anthony and Maria came over today for a play date. They haven't had school all week and are going a bit stir crazy. We made play dough and Will and Ella loved the company!

OH GOODNESS! I am so sorry. I bet you are ready to go nuts from being inside for so long! Glad to see you've got a good spirit about it!

Love you all,
Ali

I agree with you on being over it. It's been white here since early December. I've resorted to taking Daniel to the playground in the snow and ice. He's finally learning how to walk in it a bit, but when he sinks in up to his knees it's a bit tough :)
