Nemo moved in on Friday afternoon as predicted and started to grace us with big, fluffy flakes. Every school in the state closed in anticipation of the event. So the kids and I were home to enjoy the lack of snow and watch endless weather reports. Ian went into work early and came home on the 2:10 train (the MBTA closed down at 3:30 to prepare for the weather).
By 4:30 we had a few inches of snow, so Ian and the kids headed out even though it was starting to get a little dark.
Snow baseball. If you look closely, you can see that Aiden has gotten a piece of this one!
Malcolm and I mostly stayed inside, but, in an effort to be "in the picture" and to bend to the demands of peeps on Facebook, I took Mr. M outside for just a few minutes. I don't think he was impressed.
On Saturday morning, we woke up to the power on (YAY!) and a just a little more snow.
Everyone was fascinated by the continuous weather updates!
Ian took the kids outside, but Devin was overwhelmed by the snow (of course, if you were shorter than the average snowdrift, you'd probably be a bit nervous, too). So he came inside to enjoy some fun in his "fort."
Ian and Aiden lived it up outside for close to TWO hours!
Love this picture! I might have to have it framed.
And, who needs a hill when you have stairs?
The following day, Ian got down to the business of clearing the driveway. Thank goodness we bought a snow blower when we moved in to this house!
