"Older" Self Propelled Snow Blower

This is the man-powered Snow Blower.
Today we woke up to a bit of snow.
The weather was at a high of 25 (not to bad)
and the winds were gone.
Glad to have a good husband who was Jonny on the Spot
at clearing our drive way and side walk.
xoxo Love ya.

Blizzard

The weather men have been warning us for a couple of days of a blizzard warning.

With snow apx. 12 -18 inches!

Yesterday evening it started coming down.

Maddie tried her best to clear the driveway, yet the winds were

so strong that the snow drifts over took her efforts.

I took the warning and stopped at the grocery store, and the craft store

knowing that the kids would be home, snowed in.

My game plan to keep them busy:

* Wii

* Make Sugar Cookies

* Frost the cookies

* clean their rooms in hopes to find a lost glove, & hat

* play clue

* make snowflakes

This could be a L-o-N-g day. (did I mention Shawn is on-call)

As Shawn was leaving for work this morning at 6, he quietly

came and woke me up and asked if I could be his chauffeur

cause the roads haven't been plowed, the neighbors were

all stuck and there was No way that the golden bullet would ever

make it.

Ahhh living in Minnesota at it's finest.

Good Morning Old Man Winter

Well lookie here what we have.
Some folks may gasp and shake their heads
at this cold white fluff.
Not us, we call it FREE entertainment.
Once the two Reds got a look out the window
there was no stopping them.
They each enjoyed a snowball for breakfast,
and a fun run thru the backyard before heading
off to school.
I wasn't as prepared for the fun, so we
are now out to buy some new winter ware to keep them
all nice and toasty.
As for me? I bought some Hot cocoa mix to sip and
enjoy the beauty that is falling from above.
