This has been quite a snowy winter so far but this storm was by far the worst so far! The flakes started on Friday afternoon and kept coming for over 24 hours. By later Saturday afternoon we saw a peek of sun and Sunday was sunny and clear, a perfect day to finish digging out of the 26". We don't have much time, Tuesday afternoon we have another storm coming and they are calling for about the same kind of accumulation!
Saturday morning...
You can't even see the swings!!!
First thing Saturday morning I had to get my coat and boots on to start shoveling... Schatzie took one step out of the back door and it was up to her chin!
Yes, that is my car in the driveway and it is still snowing.
Poor Schatzie, she couldn't even go in the snow if she wanted to!!
Here comes the Silver Bullet coming around one of the snow-bergs on the back patio.
After lunchtime we were measuring over 24" on the driveway with snow still falling. All in all we got 26"+ by the time it finally stopped.
GGGRRRR!!!
All of this shoveling (and more) done by just my two hands. Don't worry, no injuries just really sore. Two days of r&r (and Advil) to get ready for round 2.
Suiting up to play!
Ell in the backyard.
Climbing though the driveway.
She is so light, she didn't even sink all the way down.
Ellie and I out front shoveling.
Enlisting child labor.
Elie playing with her snow paints.
With some work it looks like we are making some progress!
Even Princess Belle came out to play in the snow.
Snow angels!
Hiking up the path to her club house.
Ellie at another angle.
Ellie is up there in the club house.
Watching the neighbors help us with the rest of the driveway on Sunday.
That is a LOT of snow!
More snow painting.
Its Ellis!!
So, I hear her yell, "LOOK!!! I am peeing!!!!" Then about fall over laughing! "BAWHAHAHAHA!!!!"
It was very hard not to fall over laughing myself!!
She is just cracking herself up!!
Baking cookies on Sunday afternoon... Chocolate chip, yum!!
Showing me her chocolate chips!
Ellis!
Getting ready to get herself stuck in the snow!
This is taken from under her clubhouse and in the right corner of the photo is the top of her picnic table.
Schatzie trying to see what is going on.
She lost her boot, luckily we found it!
No worries, she thought that was hilarious too!
Mmm... Snow! No worries kiddo, there will be plenty of that for a while to come!
