An update on our day

Maddie went down for an early nap right about the time it stopped snowing. We decided to take advantage of the time and get out and get some shovelling done. We we able to quickly make a path from the back door to the garage and decided to go ahead and open the garage door to see how the alley looked. This is what we were greeted with:






We stood there for a while trying to figure out what to do.




Um, yeah, we might still be snowed in tomorrow.

Not that these two would mind, I think they think this is the best thing ever!




I decided that while the sun was out (only briefly) and before the really cold temps set in(it's supposed to be -10 tonight without the wind chill) that we should get Maddie bundled up and outside for a few pictures.


Ready to go!


She mostly just stood there looking around and I don't think she was too sure of the walls of white stuff all around her.




I think here she's giving me her "I'm ready to go back in" face


We couldn't pass up the opportunity to actually put her IN the snow. Since her pants weren't waterproof we had her sit on Alex's arm so she hardly even touched the snow. I don't know if you can really see her face but she was not happy about it.


The drifts in the front yard are higher than the ones on the pathway in the back so I wanted to get a picture of her out there as well.


And this I feel will be a familiar seen in our house for years to come!


***Update - Alex has asked our neighbor is we can borrow their snow blower for the garage area so there is a chance we might be going to work tomorrow. We'll see what happens when they finally get around to plowing the alley. Right now Maddie and i are enjoying a Disney princess movie so I might just be okay with staying home for another day. Especially with all the shoveling taken care of, that is HARD WORK!
