Digging Out

This past week we got a BUNCH of snow! The kids were so excited. They were off school for 2 days and then delayed another. We took a little bit of time to play in it after the first round came through.

Maddie wasn't sure if she liked all the clothes it required - this was her very first big snow!

Honestly, no one had much energy to play in it after the 3 hours of shoveling that was needed to just clear our small drive (or path in front of the garage) and our sidewalks! All 3 boys and Daddy worked non-stop and did a great job!

OK, so maybe we took a little break for pictures!

Yes, that is Ronnie behind all that snow!

Told ya!

The snow was so heavy that Nathaniel cracked his new shovel!

That pile keeps getting bigger.

Even Maddie and I helped a little - we cleared the porch!

Maddie realized that if she took her gloves off she got cold very fast.

Note: tears are not good in the cold either.

Now today we are getting more, even as I type. We figured in the first round this week we got about 3 inches then at least another 8 on top of that. Now today, I'd say we have at least 4 as of this writing and it is still coming down. I'm not sure where all that snow can be piled. Yes it is treacherous, but I also think it is beautiful! I'm sure there will be more snow pictures to come!
