The shirts must have worked, because we got out snow wish! Over night we got around 16" of wet, packy snow. The boys could hardly contain their excitement to get outside, though Mike certainly w
ould have been happy to wait to tackle our driveway! He's sure going to be sore tomorrow. While he worked, the boys and I stumbled through the yard, pulling Drew out of drifts and helping him walk through snow that's nearly up to his waist. Poor kid was just like the boy in."A Christmas Story" when he falls- he just couldn't get up. :(
The huge piles of snow created by shoveling just a little of the drive were perfect as snowball fight forts, and we made good use of them, and our snowball maker! We're going to need another one of those to keep up with this family!
The weather people say another several inches are coming later this afternoon and evening. After a massive nap (for everyone), we're going to trudge down the street and meet our friend and neighbor Natalie for some sledding and more snow fun, so we hope it holds off a little longer. For now we're hunkered in with warm drinks and movies and (fingers crossed it stays) power. Here's looking at a 5 day weekend!
Duct tape is the best for making sure gloves stay on tiny hands and that wrists stay warm and dry. We might have to use it on ankles this afternoon too...
Can't hardly move, but happy to be going out!
We fell! Now let's slide face first into the ditch like penguins!
Painting the yard UVA colors.
It's deep, even on the bushes.
Up to his waist.
Tackling the yard... With a rake?
And attacking. Look out tball field- he's got good distance and aim!
