literally

Not quite what I meant when I asked Lucy to "lay out" her clothes for school....I love the way kids think!

Let it snow!

 Sorry the pictures are a little mixed up...couldn't get them to cooperate today!

Lucy was loving all the snow!

It was up to Lucy's shoulders in some parts

This was the mound I shoveled right out of the garage

Kady was helping me shovel....to no avail.  They wanted me so bad at work, they sent someone to get me!



The drifts by our front door







Jim was proud of all his hard work....no snow plow or blower for us...WOW





I love the walls of snow surrounding our driveway.  The girls played on them forever today!

The picture doesn't do it justice.  The snow was above the bumper of the cars.....sorry work, not even attempting  to get out of my garage.



My mom likes to tell me about the blizzard of '78...the year that I was born.  She shows us pictures of cars buried in the snow, and the walls of snow surrounding houses and driveways.  She tells me about plowing down B ave so they were ready if I came.  I love hearing those stories. 

My memories of the snowpalooza, blizzard 2011 will include having to work....deciding I couldn't get out, and having the hospital come bring me in.  The nurses that had to stay and sleep there, because they were not releasing anyone home, and thankfully that I was able to leave at the end of my shift.  I love to see my kids play in snow up to their waist.  Jim's shear joy in posing for pictures after all his hard work shoveling to clear our driveway...and everytime the snow plow has come now to clear the rest of our street.  

Bring it on...if it's going to be cold, and it's going to be winter...let it snow!
