January 21- January 31
What a storm! I had prepared in getting food, planning meals and thinking of some things to do while we were snowed in but I had NO IDEA! Bill called on Thursday from work and asked if I had gotten water and fire wood. ahhh no! How bad could it be? It was going to be some snow. Well, I guess last time there was a storm like this one of his co-workers was without electricity for a week. I had no idea that was possible! So, at the last minute I was running around like everyone else trying to find water and fire wood. Carm and I decided we would go to Ihop for lunch....so after that i went to the store and she took all the kids home. It was great I didn't need to take them! The store was out of water and had no fire wood! Bill was able to find some at the grocery store near our house. I still didn't think it could be that bad!
It started to snow on Thursday around 2 and snowed hard for a LONG time! We went to Matt and Cathy's on thursday night and sat in the back yard by the fire...it was so fun. The kids were of playing in the snow.
That is a whole bunch of snow! I think total for the whole storm we got like 24-26 inches!!

I even thought of getting a snow present! (it was was bejeweled...a game)
The BEFORE picture!
Perfect fire and mulled wine!
Abigail and Addison!
So much fun!!
Sidney didn't think it was so fun!
There was so much snow in the cup-de-sac that I could barely make it across the street! The snow came over my knees!
ALOT of snow!
Landon was SO happy! I couldn't keep up with trying to dry clothes!
Bill got to try out his snow shoes!
The snow party was awesome! We had all the driveways done but had to wait until Monday night/Tuesday morning for the plow to come! Luckily, the plow did not block the already shoveled driveways! By this time we were getting a little antsy! Wednesday we went to Roland's retirement party and made it just fine but the roads were still a mess. The kids didn't have school until the following Monday! 11 days off of school. Then that Monday that they were going to go back was a 2 hour delay AND Addison was sick! ARE YOU KIDDING!!! I was craving routine!
