So much snow!!!!

As a lot of you have heard on the news, our area in Ontario has been blasted with an ongoing storm now that's lasted almost two weeks! Schools have been closed, the kids have had 6 snow days in a week and a half, roads have been closed and Christmas shopping for many people has been at a standstill. Twice we've have had a friend bring milk and bread to the end of our lane way where we had to walk out to get it! Dan has been blowing snow before going to milk in the morning then most days had to blow out the lane way again (here and at the barn down the road).

The kids and I have been snowed in here most days. Yesterday while we could get out of our lane way, we got stuck on the road in a drift/ditch! We have been keeping busy doing lots of baking, playing games and trying to break up frozen water bowls for the animals in the shed.

All my plans have been canceled this week, but today the kids went to school!!! Hopefully the worst is over and next week when they're actually on vacation we will be able to get out and visit with friends and be free to leave the house...Dan has asked me to please stay home if the road is bad again....I said I'll try :)

Here are the kids at the beginning of last week making forts in the drift out back.






Dawson in his hole!
Kortney still trying to swing!
Travis not happy I'm taking his picture!
Kaitlin shoveling out her hole!
Now here is the same drift this week.

The front trees.
And Kortney on the porch!
As much as I love having snow before Christmas, I hope Mother Nature has run out for now and we all can have a great Christmas with family and friends!
