More Snow

Who would have thought we would get another 8 inches for a total of 29 inches in two weeks!  Alexis has not been to school in 9 days and Ansley and I have only been to school 2 days out of the last nine...That is just plain crazy!!  I never thought that I would be tired of staying at home and doing nothing, but I am and I do not care to experience this ever again.

Snow Ice Cream

We really wanted some ice cream and
had none so we made snow ice cream
with the mounds of snow that are outside.
 The Paula Dean recipe is delicious (thanks Christy).

8 cups of snow
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 tbsp of vanilla
mix and enjoy

Never Ending Snow

Who would have thought we would get more snow after 21 inches!  It snowed 4 more inches today, and if the weatherman's prediction is right we could get 12 more before Wednesday night....this is madness!!!!  However, the girls absolutely love it:)

The Snow Fort

 Well, when you have 21 inches of snow and you can't go anywhere....you build a snow fort with your dad.  The girls had a lot of fun building a snow fort with Jimmy today--they made it big enough that they could both get in it:)  It is great to see pure children's joy on their faces and in their voices!  

Lulu looks like a tiger pouncing for food as she tries to run over the snow!!

As I thought the drive way was not clear enough for us!  We thought we would make a quick trip to Atwoods this morning to get Jimmy some snow gear to shovel snow tomorrow--boy were we wrong.  We got stuck about 1/2 way down the drive way and it took Jimmy all morning to get it out. 

Alexis is feeling better now, and she got to go out and play for a while. 

The Blizzard of 2011

 Thanks to mother nature we have had a chance to experience a blizzard that delivered 21 inches of snow.  We were all out of school/work today, and they have already canceled for tomorrow.  The girls think it is absolutely great, but I am not so sure. 

Some of the snow drifts were taller than Ansley, but she thought it was fun for us to put her in them to see how far they came up.  Alexis was sick so she did not get to go out and play today, but hopefully she will feel better tomorrow.

Jimmy and his dad spent about an hour trying to plow the drive way so we could leave if we need to, but I think they are going to need to do it again tomorrow.
