Second Snowing of 2011

On Tuesday we were iced in. The roads were "treacherous." The temps stayed well below freezing and everything was closed......for 4 days! On the fourth day we were surprised with another 6 inches of snow on top of the ice. It was nice to have some extended family time and it wasn't too bad, but I think we are kinda done with the cold.  And, we need actual snow gear.  Of course as soon as I buy it, it won't snow for several years.  We also realized that we need to wait a few more years until we consider going snow skiing or at least go during Spring Break when it's warmer.


We did get Cavett's room painted.


 The favorite pasttime is eating the snow.
 We bought a new inner tube for this snow fall.


 But the inner tube was quickly popped. 
 Our backyard pet nusance showed his hippipty-hop foot prints.
 The icicles were massive and some on the pool are still lingering 3 days after the thaw. 
 By far, the highlight of the week was making snow ice cream. 
It just doesn't get any better!

The Grocery Store




Today Brenda so graciously offered to keep the kids while I went to the grocery store. It was great going by myself and it was the first time I had been since Ike came our way. As for the store, it was so strange to see empty shelves. But the weirdest thing of all were all the empty freezers. However, one item remained....
