Last night we went to Fricano's with Ryan's family for pizza then to Kyle and Amanda's for Selah's birthday. We had a nice dinner and a good time at Kyle and Amanda's as well. Sadie stayed at their house for a sleepover, and we brought Justin home with us for a sleepover as well. We were woken up this morning at 7:30 by an automated phone call from church saying there was a water main break and that church was canceled. I couldn't go back to sleep, so I got up and went outside to shovel for the first of many times today. We were only supposed to get 1-3 more inches of snow today, so I thought I'd get the heavy-duty shoveling over with this morning and just have to quickly get the rest tonight. Well.... we got a TON more than 1-3 inches after I shoveled this morning. You couldn't even tell that I had shoveled. Ryan went out one time as well to get the driveway. The kids had fun playing outside in it. They went out several times throughout the day and made forts, trails, a racetrack, houses with rooms, etc. Brooks is so whipped that he is crashed on the couch sleeping. I just got back in from shoveling I hope for the last time! It isn't coming down now, but I haven't seen whether we are supposed to get more tonight or not. Here are a few pictures of the massive amounts of snow we have gotten. The news last night said we had gotten 86.7 inches of snow this season so far, and that was BEFORE last night's and today's snow, so I'd say we are well over that by now.
Here is a snow fort/igloo that Ryan made for the kids.
The piles of snow from our hours of shoveling beside the driveway.
A big snow pile in our yard from what Boeve has snow plowed so far this winter.
Our front sidewalk- the sides come up almost to Sadie's shoulders!
The paths we created so the kids could go out the front door to the bus stop.

The little snow fort the kids made looks fun!!!
Oh my gosh! And we thought we had cold weather! Of course, now it's back up in the 40's and NO SNOW!!!
I don't know...that igloo looks pretty fun...I might have to come play in it!
Sweet igloo. :) I've been thinking about digging a little square on my porch (where we haven't shoveled ONCE this winter) to put my kids in, just to get a picture of how deep it is. Amazing! I bet your kiddos had a blast on those mounds!
These are the winters I remember as a child! Cool fort!
Didn't you guys get the email about global warming?
