Ummm it snowed !

To say the least it snowed in NY. Our house got over 2 feet of snow. Power went out on Thursday at our house and didn't come back on until today sunday. I haven't had internet so I've been seperated from the world. Luckily we have a generator so we didn't have it that bad. The snow had a blue tint to it in the cracks which i've learned means its glacier snow or wet snow. It is a very heavy snow. All the trees branches are weighed down to the ground. A ton of trees broke, we had to clear them out of the driveway so we could have it plowed. I am definately out of shape. Walking in 2 feet of snow is hard enough. but carrying trees as well wears me out quickly. We had some good family time. becky keith and the kids came and were stuck in the snow with us. It was fun, but I'm glad its over and i'm ready for the snow to be gone. The snow is plowed so high that you can't see around corners when you're driving. Anyways.... enjoy the picks!

oops!!!

So my friend from church asked me to babysit her kids today, since I don't have a job right now. I said sure, why not. They have a new house dog that's not potty trained, kept peeing all over even though i let her out every hour!! anyways two of the kids are at school and 2 are home with me. The baby is getting cranky but i got to keep her awake until I pick eden up from the bus. So I get the kids in jackets and head to the end of the road. we wait ten minutes for the bus, its king of cold out. So I hurry the kids back to the door only to find out that it's locked!! Yep the babysitter got locked out of the house with 3 kids under 5 yrs old. I called the mom and she didn't answer and i don't have the dad's number. But my dad does, so I got hold of dad who then called their dad and he came home from work to let us in : ) They have a really old door and there is a tiny button that gets hit when the kids pull the door shut....I didn't know. Luckily he only works like 10 mins away. the kids got some fresh air and exercise on their scooters. No harm done!!
