snow day

 12/21/10
we got 22 inches of snow down here in our town!!!
we were DUMPED on for sure!!! i haven't seen this much snow in a LONG time!
it snowed for 2 days straight. sure was a pretty sight (when it first happened at least, now... not so much!)
We were up to our knees in snow, it was CRAZY
i guess it's good to have some moisture when needed.. but the roads were out of control! It had rained that morning as well, so I'm sure that didn't help. But I had a few errands to run (bad idea) and was sliding EVERYWHERE in my 4 wheel drive truck!!! i hate driving in snowy weather too.
Cars were sliding all over the roads! It was sure SLICK out there!
We sure had fun WALKING in it though, especially the kids. we couldn't keep them out of it! so fun.
Parker was at school so he missed out on the fun.
this was the twins' FIRST "real" experience with snow...

adam and abigail would run down the driveway and slide to their bellies.... funny kids!

 adam, "i'm stuck!"   abby, "i help you"

they were hilarious. they loved it and didn't want to go inside all day.

the man at work!

glad he was home to shovel us out! He spent 3 days out in the snow!

he broke down the last day and bought a snow blower.... a used one might i add but it works!!!
two years of watching our neighbors whiz through their walks was enough i guess!! He is a happier man. 

wow that was a lot of work! good thing we don't get snow like this often!

kids sure had fun helping dad shovel though!
so much SNOW!!!

and yes... i do know these are boogie boards! ha. but that is all we had.
they did get a sled for christmas though! :)

 my little stud. he loved the snow!

I could say that abby did a little more though! i was shocked a little. 

she loved stomping around, and jumping it it! i was surprised! 

 james took adam out to the back and the snow would go up to adam's chest!!!

i was scared we'd "loose" them in the snow!
James would make a path and the twins would follow behind. I just watched from the porch..;)

 

have i mentioned we got 22 inches yet???! this was on the the first day. it was CRAZY

Abigail sat here for at least 20 minutes just eating the snow! she loved it

James would pick her up and she'd eat the snow off her jacket! so funny

i tried to get in a picture... (proof that i was there i guess... but they didn't want to sit, they wanted to play!)

 
we didn't even build us a snowman...? ha. running and jumping in it was much more fun.
dad did build them a snow slide though, they had fun with that!
