White Death 2009


Sorry I have been MIA for the month of January! Wow it doesn't seem like it's been that long!!!
Here is a picture of our backyard - after a few days of snow storms! The kids were very happy to be out of school for a total of "4" - count them four days! They are telling us that we had a total of 10" of snow. Not to mention all of the ice.

The kids woke up to NO SCHOOL on Tuesday morning..... Our poor little Bella couldn't find a place to releave herself! So Taylor was trying to make a place for our "Little Princess" she doesn't like to get her feet wet....

After the snow has stopped for a little while...Taylor's friend came down and they decided to take advantage of all of the white stuff - They were off to earn some money shoveling driveways and sidewalks. And boy did they! These two were out most of the afternoon and were very happy with the money they made!

NO SCHOOL Wendesday - Taylor and Alex ventured out to earn some more money... They spent a good portion of the day out playing and earning money.







On Thursday NO SCHOOL again - The boys decided to play all day. So they invited a friend over and the played in the snow the entire day - only coming in the get warm and dry their clothing. (Between the kids drying their clothes and me doing laundry - I don't think our dryer quit running the entire day!!) Later that afternoon Taylor decided it was a great idea to walk over our creek.... then very QUICKLY found out it wasn't. The ice cracked and he was laying in the creek on his back before he knew it. Needless to say he came back to the house in a hurry and decided that he needed to get in the hot tob to warm up!!! I was so glad that he was okay!

On Friday NO SCHOOL again...Taylor decided to stay in the entire day. Cleaning and rearranging his room.


Yesterday it warmed up a bit...but not enough to melt the ice. Today.....we are having a heat wave....45 degrees! But we are suppose to in for more of the white stuff on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday! I sure hope it's not as bad as this last week....
