Snow, Snow and More Snow

As everyone is aware - we have been hit hard this winter with snow. We got 24" of snow on 2/6, then another 24" on 2/10. It was difficult to deal with as Tim was not around for most of it (he is "essential personnel" at work) and the stomach bug hit our house in the middle of the 2 storms. Here are a few from the 2nd storm - very out of order. I have more with the big piles from the plow I must not have downloaded yet.
Kendyl finally decided she liked the snow in the middle of the blizzard portion of the storm on 2/10. Either that or she just couldn't stand being inside any more! Andrew shoved a portion of the deck for her to play, but that wasn't good enough - she wanted to play in her playhouse. Steven is such a sweetie and made a path to the playhouse and carried her out there - and played with her. I stayed and shoveled the deck a bit more.
Later in the day we decided the trampoline looked a little heavy - so the boys went to clear off some of the snow....Kendyl had to go too of course. She loved playing on it, but kept loosing her boot.











After lunch we made snow ice cream - here the are getting the snow. This is only the left over 2 feet from the weekend and a few inches from the morning. The heavy stuff came in the afternoon.





This is what we woke up to on Thursday 2/11. Beautiful...but what happened to the driveway?














Here Kendyl is enjoying the snow again - after it finally stopped snowing. She is sitting on the 2-4 feet of snow.




















This was before the plow arrived.
Tim worked for 2 days straight plowing and working at work, I couldn't see how he was going to then dig us out too so I surprised him with hiring a plow (just.this.once). He better not get used to it!
