Going Crazy

February 2010 has been a long month so far!! The groundhog could have stayed in his hole as far as I'm concerned. Silly thing, we've had nothing but huge snowfalls since he came out. As you know, the weekend we went to Great Wolf we had thirteen inches of snow. A couple of days later, another ten. It is getting deep with drifts around here. Our friends, the Kuck's, went on a nice trip to Florida and I had everything arranged for the kids while they were gone. Will was going to stay with Kristen on Monday so I could still volunteer, too bad, there was too much ice and fog. Darn it. On Feb. 11, Shea was to have her class Valentine Party. Mom and Dad came up the night before and relieved some of the kids' boredom. Wouldn't you know it, 5:45 am we get the call, school is closed. No party. Shea was a tad upset. But, we postponed it to this week. No fear... Grandpa Chas said he'd go sledding with her. We asked Will if he wanted to go. His eyes got big, he looked out the window and shook his head no. He remembered being out there with Shea and I and all he did was cry. Off Shea and Grandpa went. Sledding, hide and seek and snow caves!!!

Sledding...

Building a snow cave...

It was nice that they helped us entertain them. Even if they drove through snow in case Shea had school. We appriciated it. Shawn is getting a lot of use out of his new desk, he's been working from home a lot to avoid the long drive in the snow. Saturday the weather was nice and we went to Shawn's parents to celebrate his Dad's birthday. Shea and Grandma Huntington played in the snow for a while. They even got Shawn into the action. They built a snow house, complete with multiple snowmen.

Snow house....

Like the decorations? Shea thought that was fun to spray paint the snow. It did add some color to the otherwise white surroundings. Ahh... When is Spring? Later that evening, after Erin & Nathan arrived with their kids, they all went out to see the snow house. I had fun watching them while snuggling with baby Nola.

Do you think Will is impressed with the winter wonderland?

Shea even pulled Nevan in the sled. Hope she liked it.

The kids had fun playing in the snow with their Grandparents. Kept them occupied for another day!! Thankfully! Grandma Huntington even pulled out her old snow suit, she was like a kid again. They had fun in all of this white stuff. For those of you who watch Noggin, you'll understand that last sentence.

Yesterday we again found ourselves shoveling out from another eight inches of snow. Oh my, will this ever end? It is now so deep that it is hard to go out and play in it. Shea is very much hoping that she returns to school tomorrow. I think she is starting to get cabin fever, I've had it for a while!! I keep picturing warmth and sunshine. It is coming!!
