Look what I woke up to



Look what I woke up to this morning. The good news is that it is very pretty. The bad new is we are in for more today. Another 4-6 inches worth. Of course the kids just want to play in it before school and I just want them to stay dry. I did promise Andrea that she could play in it when she got home from school. Last year she didn't want to come in from playing in the snow. She loves it so much. Mike had a hard time bringing her inside the house. He likes it but can only take so much before he is freezing. Not to mention he has no meat on his skinny body.
I finally had to bribe her with some hot chocolate and cookies. What kid doesn't want that?

It is very scary outside right now. The leaves haven't fallen completely off of the trees and the snow is the very heavy wet kind. The trees are getting weighed down and they are just snapping. As you can see in the pictures we have woods behind us. So imagine everything I am hearing at this moment. Lots of cracking and popping. Every once in awhile it is followed by a crash. Oh what a joyful day. I think I will stay inside and bake all day.
