cabin fever

2.12.10

So, we got hit hard by snow this week. We’ve officially hit a cumulative snow amount this winter of over 70 inches. That is pretty much insane. This last storm was particularly massive. We haven’t left the house since Tuesday, and we’re all starting to feel it. We’ve kept busy, but this is getting a bit old now.

This is my van in our driveway. The car buried over there is our neighbor’s convertible. We think the roof collapsed. Why he didn’t park it in his garage is a mystery.

Our backyard where we used to have hedges. We aren’t sure if this storm killed them or not. They are nearly flattened.

This is out our front door, looking at the park. The snow was up to the bottom of the swings.

This was after Mark shoveled the walkway. We are happy to announce that a father of a friend of Ashlyn‘s came by on Tuesday night and performed a miracle on our snowblower only hours before the storm hit us. He is honestly a hero in this house and perhaps made Mark the hero of the block since he was snowblowing into the wee hours of the night last night.
And, how do we spend our time while we are stuck inside?

Drew enjoyed painting his own face to be an army guy.

Mark made a batch of whoopie pies. Pretty impressive.

I worked on yoyos for Lydia’s quilt, and the kids enjoyed sorting them by material and lining them all up. They won’t let me clean them up now.

And, we have finished up Evan’s robot Valentines which are pretty darn cute.

And, of course, we’ve played quite a bit of wii. This is our new favorite game.

Apparently, Drew enjoys role playing the host of the wii game more than playing the game itself. Ashlyn “decorated” him for the role and gave me quite a laugh today. Not a bad resemblance really.
No hold up with our adoption though–we got our Letter of Acceptance via overnight mail on Tuesday afternoon and signed it, got papers notarized, and returned it right away so that the snow wouldn’t impact that at all. Things are moving!

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
