The year I went insane over snow

For those of you who didn't know....we had snow this year. And when I say snow I don't mean the usual Seattle snow. I mean...SNOW! Piles of insanely deep snow!

This looks innocent enough on the first night

After the first night we had a little break. The weatherman said more was coming but really...whoever believes the guy? During the break we got a visit from the Arlington Fire Dept. They come by every year collecting food for the food banks.

We even got a visit from santa!

And then ...it hit!

And let me remind you that this is not the last time it snowed! I gave up measuring after this.

Be careful Lucy...don't get lost!

I had this insane idea that we should take some family pictures in the snow. I like to get creative that way sometimes. Or maybe it was the touch of cabin fever getting to me

If I would have had a computer at the time then I could have sent out Christmas cards.

Todd is such a kid at heart!

Sometimes he drives me crazy with it but most of the time I love him for it.

One of the days the sun came out so I took a walk around and tried to capture the beauty of it all. (Its only beautiful if I choose not to think about how all this snow is affecting our lives!)

I love it when the snow sticks all over the trees

And then like a nightmare happening over and over again....we got more! Now mind you....I have no computer, I can't go anywhere in my car, if I do need to go somewhere..Todd has to take me. Kyler has been out of school for a a week....I was going insane!!!!

You can't even see the Christmas lights anymore!
Here it comes again!

Todd, shoveling his way to his car. Can I just say that during this whole time he did not miss one day of work. Sometimes it took him an hour and a half to get there and most of the time it was for nothing but he still made it. What a guy!

Heres the tunnel he made to the door for us...not like we where going anywhere though

Kyler felt it was his duty to teach Kaden about eating snow.

We have this tree in our front yard that I usually hate because it crazy and ugly but during the storm it developed a "Who-ville" look to it. We took pictures of the various stages.

Its now 2 weeks later and most of the snow is gone. We have piles of dirty sandy snow laying around and the tree has taken its usual ugly form again but fortunatly life has continued. But.........

Like some horrer film....its snowing right now. If Kyler does not have school tomorrow....

Someone may have to commit me!
