Here is what our house and lane way looked in the morning:
By the time I fetched my camera, the kids were running through the yard with the dogs. They were all laughing and having a grand time. They must have stayed out there for well over an hour.
They got it and fired up the hairdryer to dry the dogs. How sweet. My bathroom now smells of a lovely combination of wet dog and burn hair. NICE!!??
We just sat down to relax when we heard the tractor pull up. Steve had gone to work to borrow the tractor to clean out our driveway. The girls hopped up and got their snowsuits back on and waited while Steve built them their mountain. Every year he builds this mountain of snow on the front lawn. Last year it was so high that it reached all the way up to the girls bedroom window. If it had been a door there they could have walked out and been on top of it.
They had lots of fun with Steve and the tractor. He let them sit in the bucket and raised them up and down. The best part was when he raised them a little, went over to the mountain and tipped the bucket. They slipped out of and onto the mountain. You could probably hear the fits of laughter all over Ontario. Maybe even as far as BC.....

Okay Tara.... so a girl moves all the way across the country to the land of mountains and snow and we have NONE!!!! This is rediculous! You guys are getting it all! All we have this morning is frost. Yup... that's it! So crazy the weather we're having! We're supposed to get 5 times more snow than Ontario!! WEIRD!!
ReplyDeleteWell, I woke up to snow this morning and all I had was the dog to get some pictures of....he wasn't cooperating....he's a jack russell and I think out of the 20 pictures I got I didn't get one of his full body let alone enough to know what the picture is...lol
ReplyDeleteBut I may have a couple photos from our first snow a couple weeks ago.

ReplyDeleteLooks like the girls had a great time in the snow. How cool that Steve let them sit in the tractor scoop.
ReplyDeleteLove the pics of your girls in the snow --- and in the bucket thing -- that is so cool!!!! I haven't had a chance to really play along this month, like I was hoping to. I have a list of your challenges on my to do list and hope to get to them eventually. I did just post a photo of snow on my blog.
