Snowmageddon

We are snowed in. Friday morning around 10am the snow started falling and it didn't stop until Saturday around 4pm. We were not able to find a spot to get an official measurement, but the snow was up to Ryan's eyes (approx 30ish inches). We were able to dig ourselves out of the snow but are hearing rumors that the plow won't make it to our street until Tuesday! To add insult to injury, they are forecasting more snow on Tuesday! I am not sure when we will get out of the house or when Jeff will report to work. For now we are staying toasty warm and trying to find fun things to do inside other than watch tv.

It was coming down pretty hard still in this photo (out back door)...

Jeff started shoveling and just kept going, I think the neighbors appreciated his efforts...

Still snowing...

Couple of trees couldn't take the weight...

My brilliant idea - our shoveling reward.

My little helper making treats (Oatmeal Raisin Cookies from scratch with Mommy) - he loved to dump in all of the ingredients.

We make good cookies Mommy...

It has been a month and a half since our last BIG snow storm. Ryan was so much more into the snow this time. He didn't even mind putting his boots and snow suit on this time at all. YAY! Do I see cowboy boots in his future??!?!?!

Great picture of two of my boys (the third was sleeping)...

have I mentioned that I love, love, love my new camera lens?!?!?!

Jeff shoveled a pathway between our two cars then went behind his car in order to dig it out. This is a good visual on how deep the snow was in the street. It had been plowed the night before after a good 5-6 inches of snow had fallen. You can see that even with 5-6 inches being plowed it was still very deep.
