Shoveling the Drive Way

We didn't have a snow shovel for Maddie - so she made do with a rake.

It seems the first real snowfall brings lots of fun - including shoveling the driveway. The kids are always so excited and are such a "big" help! I have to say - the best thing about the house I live in now is that it has a three car garage and an rv pad - and all the concrete to go with it! Which I love - in the spring/summer/fall. I have learned that to shovel that thing takes me three separate attempts. It is HUGE! But I'm glad that it is our HUGE driveway - for now anyway.

Here's to shoveling!

Jack love to shovel - he just usually shovels in the wrong directions and makes fun designs in the snow - more form over function for him.

Jacee is actually pretty good - just doesn't stay interested in it very long. I can relate.

Here's crew #1. Unfortunately it has snowed a couple of times since then, and Maddie and I are the main crew. I just try to remember, I'm glad my husband has a job that pays money and so it's ok I'm out here shoveling...

Snow in October, Take 2

Last year, we had a huge snow storm in October - so it's de ja vu! This is the first time my kids have been at the age where they will play out in the snow for hours. They had a wonderful time with the neighbor girls.

It snowed all day. This is what it looked like Sunday morning when I took Putter out back. It is the perfect winter wonderland. When Jacee first saw the snow she started doing a little dance and was chanting, "It's Christmas! It's Christmas!" Jack told me that Santa was coming tomorrow. I love it that they equate a beautiful snowfall with the Christmas Season.

Here are some of our Halloween decorations all covered in snow. It has been fun but I sure hope it melts before Halloween.

Jack is worried about poor Harry the Spider. Jack is afraid of spiders but feels pretty safe that Harry is up on the second story of the house. (We didn't tell him the spider is right outside his bedroom window!)

Jacee thinks our ghosts are now alien ghosts. It has been sure been a mixed up couple of days.
