<\/a>This is\n from a few days ago when we went out to play on a sunny
\n day.<\/span><\/div>\n
We went
\n out in the big falling snow today to shovel the driveway. Every
\n time I shovel the driveway (for the past 3 winters!) I have a
\n secret fantasy that one of my neighbors with a snowblower will
\n offer to help. They’re always out there with their snowblowers
\n and I’m shoveling snow as fast as I can in a desperate effort
\n to get the driveway clear before one of the kids ends up in
\n tears. Well today my neighbor across the street offered to
\n help!! I was thrilled! I had most of the driveway done when he
\n came out, but he did the end of the driveway where I didn’t get
\n to last time and where the snowplow creates mountains of dirty
\n snow…. basically the hardest part. He also did some around
\n the mailbox and up one side so we could get the other car out.
\n Very cool!! With his help I even had time to shovel off the
\n porch and take a walk with the kids up the street to “check on
\n the fire hydrant.” And we made it back inside with NO TEARS!
\n Good times!<\/p>\n
<\/a>This is\n from today. Not so sunny, but still lots of
\n fun.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/a>I like\n that they are little enough to appreciate a snowbank slide. We
\n don’t even own sleds and they don’t even know it. Lex made this
\n slide (and another on the other side of the garbage can and a
\n third on the other side of the driveway) and they both had a
\n blast with them.<\/span><\/div>\n
PS. I have to say that I really don’t mind PSS. I’m We had a very, very snowy day today. It came down in big flakes all day! We were cozy warm inside and everyone was happy. Good times. The most noteworthy thing for today though, is that Eve said “I love … Continue reading
\n shoveling the driveway. I like to complain about it, but I also
\n like doing it :) Good calorie burn! The snowblowers are loud
\n and stink like gasoline, so even if we could afford one we
\n probably wouldn’t buy one. I told Alan my story today and he
\n said someday we will have a quiet, non-stinky electric one.
\n I’ll be shoveling until then :)<\/p>\n
