Snow Day!

The boys were ecstatic to have a snow day (their THIRD of the year) on Friday.  We spent the morning outside enjoying the fresh snowfall.  Well, enjoying might be a bit strong.  I shoveled the heaviest, wettest snow I've ever shoveled and ended up with a sore neck/shoulders for 2 days.  It is pretty in December.  I'm over it now that's it's late April and just ready for green grass, sunshine, and warm weather.  As I type, we are having another snowstorm, and we are supposed to get 5-8" inches tonight.  I feel like I'm trapped in a snow globe and can't get out!  

Fresh snowfall on my shrubs:

There are 10 shrubs beside the garage.  It looks like one giant snowbank right now!

Carter was buried in the snow up to his head!

Breaking out!
