Snow, snow, & more snow...

WOW! This my friends is snow!!! We got snow 4 days this week, and the kids missed 3 days of school this week because of the weather. The big storm hit on Thursday evening, and we ended up with about 18 inches of snow on Friday morning! Friday was filled with shoveling, playing in the snow, shoveling, and more shoveling. We had so much snow blown up by the doors we couldn't open the front or the back doors. Donnie had to take out he screen on the storm door and crawl through to start digging! Here is a picture of the snow outside the front door early Friday morning.



This is the back door we have outside on our porch. Mazie had to make a whole through the snow to get outside too!



Donnie had to do a little shoveling around his truck and then used his 4 wheel drive to make it to work! I think this is the first time he has really needed the 4 wheel drive! Thank goodness he has it for days like this one. The first part of my morning was spent shoveling the front steps and the sidewalks. After that is was on to my car! What a mess. I park on the end of the street so all the snow gets plowed up behind my car and makes it a real pain to dig out! This was an all day project with plenty of breaks to play with the kids! Here is John playing in the snow! As you can see it was still snowing!

Luke sliding around in the snow on his belly! Who needs a sled when you are part penguin!

John eating some fresh snow! Katie and John love to pick up big chunks of fresh snow and take a big bite! I have to admit, it isn't too bad!

Katie taking a break from playing to smile at the camera! She is my little snow bunny!

My three little snow angels in a winter wonderland! This is the most snow they have ever seen!

After Donnie made it home from work we shoveled out all of the snow from his parking spot! Donnie and Luke with the pile of snow after we finished!

Luke loves to help shovel the snow! As you can see he has a little shovel so he can help out! I love this silly little guy! He is always seems to have a smile on his face!

And here is Katie looking through the tunnel they made in the snow!

This much snow is a lot of work, but it is also a lot of fun too! I don't think this will be the last of the snow we see this season, but I sure hope we don't get this much again until next year! Happy SNOW Day!
