My My My! About 15 inches of snow fell within 24 hours. It was crazy how fast it accumulated from 2 ta 8 yesterday. Glad i shoveled after about each 4-5 inches fell or else i would have been shoveling the entire afternoon. I heard the stories and news broadcast of how much snowfall we where supposed to get but i didn't really think we would get that much. I began to believe around 5 pm yesterday when i had to clean off the car for my fiance to go to work. As i cleaned off the car(SUV) passenger side then moved to the driver side the passenger side was covered with snow again and thats when i start thinking about the blizzard from 93. I didn't want her to go becasue i knew how the road conditions would be and she has no, i repeat NO experience driving in the snow. So i just gave her the basic principles in driving in the snow,like if the car starts to spin turnb the wheels the opposie direction the car is spinning and dont mash on the brakes(pump them). She got to work alright but took her 1 ahlf hour longer than the ususal 18 minutes. Felt like an eternitiy waiting for her call. She said that work would probably be closing and sending everyone home at 8pm. I knew that this would be a dangerous ride home for her and started to 2nd guess myself as why i didn't ride her to work. We have 3 children and i did not want them to be in harms way, with accidents and all with the weather conditions. She did pretty good because she made it home unscathed. Thank you God!
We planned to get up early and take the kids out and play in the snow. We woke up around 10am got a bite to eat then got the kids bundled up in clothes and head out. Now mind you, our kids love to go outside and for some reason love to play in the snow probably just like any other kids but for whatever reason they do not like to come back in the house to get warm. It's like they dont feel the cold. Especially the youngest. He will fight you to stay outside and then cry,scream,scratch claw, bite(Lol) no he hasn't bit yet but he absolutely does not like having to come back in the house. I guess they get this from mom becasue daddy can take about 10-15 mintues of the snow then its back to the warmth for me. So they all played in the snow. In some spots the snow come up to the chest. Ray jr. fell face 1st in the snow and i guess he was shocked because he stgarted to cry and mommy wiped his face clean then he was cool. They all trampled through the snow while i shoveleda path in the walkway where they had a place to brush off their legs and kick snow off their boots. This was the very 1st time we all went out and played in the snow together as a family. A very special moment to us to enjoy together. Hopefully with the pics i took they last so that when they grow up we can share a laugh together with stories from every pic. We will definitely be going back out either later or tomorrow for some more fun. I had an idea to print pics on t-shirts of moments captured for times when we go to amusement parks so the kids have excitement of what the are wearing. Give it a shot it should be family fun.
