If you were Ellie, you would be calling the title of this post a "patterin."

I love that girl!

Blizzard Pt. 2

Of course we DID have to go outside to clear the driveway this morning, so here's a few more pics of the day...

I have made a mental note to ALWAYS pull Hannah's hair up before sending her out to play! 

Poor thing!

Daddy had a little helper...thank goodness I ran to the dollar store yesterday afternoon before the storm really hit to grab a couple kid shovels! 

Unfortunately I couldn't get a great picture of Sammy's face while shoveling...

he was too busy working to look up!

You'll notice there weren't any pictures of Ellie outside...

this is how she wisely spent her time while we were out up to our knees in snow!

(notice the dress...this is what she came down wearing this morning...what a princess!)

And Gabby enjoyed her time basking in the sun and frankly, I don't blame her!

Blizzard 2011

There have obviously been other things happening in our lives since Christmas, but I'll get to that later (hopefully!) and just talk about the news TODAY...the BLIZZARD of 2011!

Thank goodness none of us has to go anywhere today....it was quite a storm!


These hot chocolate pics were from last week after an afternoon of sledding. :0)

Okay, on to the blizzard! 

these may not be the greatest pics..I'll try to add more if we actually get outside today!

check out the drifts...by the back fence!

Brian was kind and shoveled a path for Gabby...poor Gabby had a rough night using the potty last night in the midst of the blizzard!

 she wasn't too sure of the path either...maybe it had to do w/ the wind whipping her face?!

neighbor's car across the street!

our mailbox!

hope you're safe and warm where ever you are! 

(yes, mom and dad, we know you are!! Can't wait to come in 3 1/2 weeks!)
