Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

and that's what it did from Friday night until Saturday night! All day Friday, the news kept reporting that we were going to have 8-12 inches of snow by Saturday night. When I woke up on Saturday morning to feed Parker (promptly at 6 am, as usual), we had surpassed the 8 inch mark and the new forecast was for 12-24 inches. Well folks, according to the yard stick on top of our patio table, we had 21 inches at 905 Allison St! You read correctly, 21 inches.

When Campbell woke up, he could hardly wait to get outside and play in the snow. Well, he really just wanted to eat it. After a good breakfast, we bundled everyone up (even Parker) and headed outside. Parker made it for a total of 5 minutes. Enough time for a couple of photos (showing his displeasure)! Campbell, on the other hand, played for hours outside with Jason. They borrowed our neighbor's sled and went down the hill in front of our house. I could hear him screaming and laughing from inside.

By Saturday afternoon, we could barely walk in front of our house. Thanks to Jason, he kept clearing the sidewalks so we'd have a path to get out. We bundled everyone up again (and this usually takes about 15-20 minutes with all of the snow gear) and walked to another family's house for a glass of wine. All of the parents needed to have some social interaction and the kiddos, well...they just loved seeing their friends.

After working all day on Sunday, Jason was able to clear out the driveway and sidewalks in front of the house. Our wonderful neighbor even pitched in to help clear the snow from the drain so we wouldn't have a huge patch of ice at the base of our driveway. Such great neighbors!!!

Jason was able to take a couple of breaks on Sunday to play with Campbell and our friends, the Kuniks. Their daughter Elle is adorable and Campbell just loves hanging out with her. They went over to another street and went sledding. I stayed in and kept Parker company!

We got out of the house today, for the first time. The roads were pretty clear and will hopefully continue to melt with each passing day.

It was quite a weekend, a first for this Nawlins gal. We had snow at Mary Baldwin, but nothing like this. Enjoy the pictures below and on the picasaweb - www.picasaweb.google.com/spencefam2.
