SNOW!

We have been having great fun with all of this white stuff outside!  Tuesday evening when it started snowing I had gone into work – I was working all night (7pm-7:30am).  Tyler had taken a long nap that day so around 9pm I talked to Craig and he was taking Tyler outside to burn off some energy in the snow!  I was quite jealous to say the least – I know I get to be home with Tyler all the time but how fun!  The snow was still falling, snowflakes were getting bigger, and I wanted to be enjoing it as a family!  Tyler and Craig had fun and MeMe and Great Grandma who had come down to help watch Tyler the next day so I could sleep had fun watching him too!  Here’s a pic of my 2 boys before their snowy fun….

The next day I put Tyler to work outside.  Hey, he has to earn his keep somehow   Here he is shoveling the driveway…

And here’s just some snowy cuteness!…..

OK, really I shoveled the driveway, Tyler just helped relocate snow to new areas with his sand shovel.  But I went out to shovel the driveway because my mom’s van was burried (like everyone else’s).  I had to borrow a snow shovel from our neighbors, our mean neighbors, because Craig had taken ours in case he got stuck and he had to dig himself out on the way to work that morning.  I feel bad saying our neighbors are mean, but we say “Hello” to them everytime we see them out and wave when our cars pass, but they just look right through us with no response as if we don’t even exist.  We have never had a confrontation or “falling out”, hard to have one if one party doesn’t acknowledge the other’s existance, and believe you me, I tried to find other neighbors that were home and go there, but there was this little tap on my shoulder from God telling me to ask them, our mean neighbors, although I don’t think God really called them the “mean neighbors”, he just said “them”….but I’m digressing….so I dig out my mom’s van and shovel the driveway and I swear to you, not 1 hour later does the crew come and plow the drive our condo is on and oh, lookie there, here comes the rest of the crew with shovels to shovel the drives and sidewalks!  Sorry boys, your job is done here!  I am woman, hear me roar!  But, since we are @ the end of the drive, we fully benefited from the fact that all the snow got plowed onto our “front yard” or grassy area in front of your condo, because when you have a big pile of snow it makes a fabulous…..

SLEDDING HILL!!!!

I promise you, he is not crying in the 2nd pic!  He was giggling hollaring “One, two, GOOOOO!”  We have great plans for tomorow to move on to Phase 2 of the project and make a fort out of part of the hill also!
