I did it!

I know I already posted this morning, but this is insane! We have so much snow, people are snowmobiling by our house. Brayden has been wanting to go sledding all day! Who can blame him, our hill looks so inviting! After going a little nuts this morning I decided to bundle everyone up. After tracking down enough of everything, we were ready. Thank you Missy, for the pants and boots, you're a lifesaver! While I got the girls ready, B played on the deck.

The snow was up to his shoulders in spots, he was crawling on top of the piles.

Bundled up and ready to get to work shoveling!

B sledding on the snow hill on our driveway!

Ellie wasn't so sure about the snow at first, but she was thrilled to walk around and drag the shovel behind her. As long as she could keep wandering she was happy!

Dani loved the snow initially, but she wouldn't keep her gloves on. She didn't last too long, but she liked having free reign of the house while we shoveled a little bit longer!

B making a snow angel, I thought I was going to lose him in all that snow!

Dani as happy as can be inside.

Ellie lasted a long time outside, and refused to take off her snow gear when we got inside. She found my hat and insisted on wearing it. It looks a lot cuter on her!

How about some snow???

This is what we woke up to this morning. This is our back deck. All the school districts are closed (which rarely happens here), the court house is closed and the hospitals aren't doing scheduled non-emergency surgeries. (I am so glad I am not scheduled for a C-section, I would have lost my mind)! Those poor people!

I fed the kids breakfast and headed outside to shovel. Even though I shoveled three times yesterday this is what I walked out to. My camera sucks and you can't really tell how high it is, it just looks like a blizzard, which it pretty much is. I shoveled for 45 minutes and maybe cleared 1/4 of our driveway. I didn't even attempt to clear the third bay. While I was shoveling my B-I-L, Kelly, drove by. (They live down the street from us). He had attempted to get to work in his 4X4 truck and couldn't quite make it. He said people were stuck everywhere. When the plows clear the snow it is immediately covered up.

I think we will hunker down, we're going to be stuck for a few days. Will my husband ever make it home.....??? If he does, I may have to be committed to a mental institution by that point. :)
I hope this 'couve girl can make it back home for the holidays!
