Snowed In!

Here it is... our Snow Day! The day went so fast and it seemed like we were outside more than we were inside, but our snow removal didn't really take all that long.

Jack LOVED playing in the snow, and helping Dan (I was helping too!)


It was kind of nice- our back porch is surrounded by a 5 foot snow drift, so Jack really couldn't go anywhere. We still had our swimming pool set up from summer time (yes, we are totally trashy!) and it filled with snow. Jack loved digging in it, and then shoveling the back porch and putting it in. It was a great way for all of us to play- shielded from the cold wind.




The 2nd time we went outside, Dan was snowblowing our front sidewalks. Jack loved following Dan down and using his little tiny shovel to break down the snow along Dan's path. I was working on knocking down cold snow at the bottom of our driveway so that Dan could snowblow it over the really tall snow banks. This is one of the joys of living on a corner- the snowplows come by and the snow banks keep getting taller.
It was a great day! One of our friends, an Elder serving in our ward, was supposed to be transferred out first thing in the morning- that was postponed so our snowblowing was interrupted by a breakfast/lunch ping pong party. I took a nap, Dan watched some TV, and then Dan helped my Dad with snow in the evening. It is amazing how fast the day went and it didn't seem all that relaxing.

I guess that is how it goes when you live in a house. It just goes with the territory!
