Blizzard 2010 Day Three

By MAD21

After two and a half days of shoveling our property and helping our neighbor's, we finally got to get in some play time today.

Unfortunately, the snow is still too powdery to build much of anything. My oldest had decided she wanted to try and build igloos this time, but when we found out the the snow was so dry, we knew that wasn't going to happen. So we settled for building a snow cave, two actually. We decided we should build 'condos' for each of the girls.

Blizzard 2010

Well, I am happy to report that we survived the storm. I can only give an estimate as to how much we actually got at our house, but it was well over two feet.

We spent the entire day yesterday trying to find our driveway, dig out hubby's car, and start on the sidewalks. We also went down and helped two other neighbors. Thankfully, one of them brought their snowblower down to our house and helped us find the end of our driveway, which of course, will go totally missing again once the snow plows begin work in our development--I'm wondering where all that snow from the road is going to go.... I'm guessing we will have huge mountains lining our roads...

The screens on the windows were covered when we woke up, and the snow was piled up against the sliding door on the deck. All of our bushes were just covered in heavy snow.

Fingerprint Friday: Snowdays

By MAD21

We love snow in our house. Ok. Let me rephrase that... the people in our house love snow. I'd prefer the snow not actually be in our house. Our kids love the snow not just because of the days they miss school, because they are too young to really understand snowdays off from school. But really because it's a opportunity when we can have time playing together as a family playing that may include throwing things at each other without getting hurt or in trouble.
