SNOW!!!

We had record snow in Virginia last week and are still recovering from it! The snow started early on Friday the 5th and we got well over 2' of snow before it stopped late Saturday. Tim's brother, Chris, decided that he wanted to get snowed in at our house and he and Tim tried to keep up with the snowfall by digging out Tim's car every few hours. They still worked at it for a solid 2 hours to get it out of it's parking spot Saturday evening. Ofcourse, they had time to build an igloo and play with Timmy while they were outside too.

Timmy really enjoyed the snow this time. Our neighborhood association is responsible for the roads and sidewalks, so they are always cleared pretty quickly. Timmy loved running up and down the sidewalk and sticking his hands into the mounds of snow on the sides. He didn't mind getting picked up and dropped into the snow either. When he would fall down, if he couldn't get back up on his own, he would just start crawling! Whenever he would see any of us putting on shoes or hats he would start clapping because he was excited to go back outside!

On Sunday we went to my parents to dig out their driveway as a fundraiser for our upcoming cruise! We realized that Tim might lose his parking spot if we were gone all day, so we dug my car out of the driveway first and moved it to the street. We were amazed at how bad the main roads still were! Chris helped us shovel and it took the three of us two hours to do their house! We visited for a while after the work was done and then headed home to watch the Super Bowl at our house.

The government was closed Monday to Thursday so Tim was off, but I ventured out for work on Tuesday. I brought Tim's sister, Becky, back with me, she was ready for a change of scenery. We spent a lot of time watching movies while we were home. Tim and Chris played a whooooole lot of Hockey on the Xbox while Becky did homework and I kept myself busy with various projects around the house. Thursday evening we all took turns playing Guitar Hero and Timmy even got in on the action.

Friday Tim and I both went to work so I dropped his siblings off on my way in. I should mention that my car is STILL stuck in the spot infront of our house, my mom actually came and picked us up Friday and then I used her car the rest of the day! Hopefully Tim will be able to get my car out today since he is at home for President's day. Apparently we could get up to four more inches of snow today! The piles of snow on the sides of the road are impressive, some of them could stick around into April I think!
