Oh, The Weather Outside is Frightful...

Winter is here! I'm actually welcoming it with open arms. It felt weird to put up Christmas decorations last Saturday when it was 65ยบ. NOW "it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas..."
After the hype all day yesterday about getting a foot by this morning, John was extremely disappointed when we went to bed at 11 last night with no signs of snow. I woke up at 6:30 this morning to the foot we were promised, plus some, I think. Brent is beside himself with joy and there's no school today because of it. Can life get any better for a kid? The first snow day of the year!


Brent practically rolled John out of bed this morning so they could go out and snowblow and shovel before John goes to work.














You can't really tell in the pictures, but there's about 14" in our driveway!









The whole idea of shoveling is great, but what boy can resist diving in the snow and pummeling the neighbor kids with snow balls? The snow is heavy and wet; perfect for a snowball fight! Brent is in the red.


Happy Winter to all!

Yeah 80 is just annoying Renee, NOT :)...Anyway, looks fun! Mason got Shawn to go out and play too. We don't have near as much as you, but it is enough for a kid to eat, sled and enjoy :0)

This is why I'm scared to have sons ever.
