Just more snow....that's all

So after a week of storms.....about 4 feet of snow had fallen from Tuesday thru Thursday afternoon......then the MOTHER storm came last night....they closed my office today which hasn't been done from what I hear for at least 19 years....

Down the road in our neighborhood..... it dropped at least another 2 feet....our driveway was clear last night....it also rained for about 3 hours last night to complicate things a bit....now there's not only 2 feet of NEW snow there's a layer of ice in the middle.....which means.....they have declared a state of emergency in the city. All interstates are closed until at least tomorrow, roofs of commercial buildings are collapsing....it's a crazy world out there.....so we're hunkered down playing monopoly.. Oh did I mention YES it is still snowing....another 10-18 inches are due today.....that's A LOT of snow people....not to mention when it starts melting off.....it could cause lots of flooding..... Kenna was supervising me as I was trying to dig out the boys boots after they made their jump....which is the video at the end....they lost their boots... I swear this driveway has been shoveled 18 times......its staying this way for a couple days...we're TIRED... somewhere to the left is the stairs to our front door.....hope nobody wants to come visit.... Cayden and Kenna are looking for the mailbox......this is also the entrance to our driveway.........I don't think we're going to get mail for awhile....so just save all the checks you were sending for a week or so..... Chad.....yeah he's not going anywhere for awhile either.... you can't really see it but this is our satellite......it has a 4 inch layer of ice on it....better get to chipping it away otherwise we're in for a LONG weekend with no T.V. Our house was pounded with blowing snow last night too......but it still is a really beautiful site.

The boys decided to jump from the top of the driveway into the snow....needless to say I had to find my way through waist deep snow to dig their boots out....Crazy boys!

I'm glad I live in this beautiful world.....

The last couple days have just been snow, snow, and more snow.....so this morning this is what we woke up to....
Our driveway covered with at least a foot of snow...after we had 18 inches the previous 2 days...
since I had to be to work this morning.....it was off to shoveling..... we hear that the family that shovels together stays together too....
we should be stuck for life after all this shoveling....
Cayden standing by our giant hill we have made from all the snow we've shoveled....
Kenna and her friend made their own "chairs" out back...
this just shows how deep the snow on our back deck is....
Cayden as the kids in The Cat in the Hat...haha....I think they are ready for spring so they can ride bikes again....
It is SO pretty....
but VERY deep....and I have long legs.....this is just our driveway
hope our neighbors roof doesn't collapse
we could have sworn we had this all shoveled when we went to bed last night....
the mound on the back deck....did I mention the are predicting another 3-5 feet by Saturday....YIKES!
I started to complain about having to drive, shovel, etc all this snow.....but then I thought of the devastation in Haiti and I am no longer complaining and will shovel with a SMILE on my face!

New Years Eve....better late than never....

For New Year's Eve Chad's band played at Charly's Downtown so....
Brian and his very cute girlfriend Jen (the blog stalker :) came up to hang out with us...

the few minutes I got to spend with him for the whole night.....New Years kinda loses something when ya get to hang out "by yourself"...but I always enjoy watching him do what he LOVES to do.....
despite the poor drummer Ken having a blood clot...yes people I said BLOOD CLOT in his "playing" leg he used his opposite foot and made it through the night....barely...he's definitely a trooper...
the place stayed packed all night.....someone said there was a line to get in all night....to cold for me to go and find out....
Proof that Brian does know Jen....they hang out sometimes....AND he danced with her...Oh Yeah...in front of people and everything....
it was probably one of the best shows this band has had.....and I'm not just saying that people...they really are good...if you don't believe me....come up here..I dare ya...
We're so glad Brian and Jen came up to hang out with us....wait to hang out with Me!
After the show it was about 7 degrees outside when we had to walk back to my car....2 blocks away...no big deal right.....welllll
Brian just about started to cry he was so cold....so Jen gave him her hat.....(I was laughing so hard I couldn't hold still to take a pic....so its a bit blurry)
however, he lOVED the hat so much....he wore it to drive home the next day.....it completed his sweet outfit!
