Blizzard of '08!

Oh yeah. We had a blizzard this weekend. I took this picture this morning. It's my backyard.



Having the driveway shovelled was the best $18 I've ever spent.

Wish I could have gotten some pictures from Saturday. We went out in a lull in the storm to do some shoveling in the driveway. He kept trying to get the shovel out my hands and saying, "Let me help you, mommy." Oh so sweet! So I gave him part of a rake and he started "helping" me shovel (You know the kind of help that's more hindrance, but there's no way you'd ask them to stop because you want to foster that cooperative spirit). He got bored with that pretty fast and started sliding down the mound of snow on the side of the driveway. I'm not sure how he did it, but he lost one of his boots. He came up to me with it in his hand asking me to put it back on him. He got snow in it, so I took him inside and we called it a day.

Sounds like a great snow day to me. :D
I love it when it snows (hate to drive in it though). But my backyard has a perfect slope for my kiddos. I got us some cheap round sleds and we go out and sled to their hearts content. It's great fun. Madisyn (3) doesn't sled for very long (the first couple times I have to put her in my lap, then she'll go a few by herself, but then she gets bored). But she loves to watch me go. :) So much fun! I love love love snow days!!!
