Well, they are saying it is the worst snow fall since the blizzard of 1978 down here in Columbus. It just so happens that I don't remember that blizzard because it was a few months before I was born. However, this is what we grew up with up in NorthEastern Ohio. However, I've been down here for so long, that I haven't seen this kind of snow in a long time. I am totally loving it!!! Of course, all my friends who are from down here, or further South in the US are not so much loving it. I tried to start cleaning out the cars this morning with a garden shovel because my snow shovel broke on the last snow we had which was followed by ice. Anyway, I ended up stopping at the door of the Escort and calling work to see if they really wanted me to come in. They said I was fine, so I just stayed in the house until it was time for the kids all of eight minute romp in the BEAUTIFUL snow!
This is a picture of the kids toy thing out in front of the house (Jackson calls it his 'clubhouse'). I also took a picture of his pool, but since it is upside down, it just looks like a big white pile of snow. So I didn't post that picture. 
The view from my front door to the street. It is truly a winter wonderland!!
I think drifted snow is so beautiful, dangerous, but beautiful! Here are the cars after I shoveled half way up the escort. Needless to say, I am glad that church is cancelled tomorrow because now I don't really have to shovel the cars unless we really have to go somewhere. Of course, Aaron is supposed to have training in Detroit this week and is supposed to leave tomorrow. We'll see if they make him go, he will have to drive if he does.
Here you go, our first three minutes of our eight minute time outside. We had as much fun as two kids who hate being cold can have. Auri's fingers were so red and swollen when we came in that I may reconsider taking her out next time. It was cool to see how far the full 14 inches plus drifting stacked up on her little body. She was about four to six inches above the ground just standing on the bottom layers of snow too.
You can't see it, but she also has pink pants under her black ones, a grey sweatshirt, and purple shoes. She was kind of like Joseph and his technicolored coat. Although quite adorable!
Jackson felt the need to bring out a little nurf football and continued to throw it at me. He actually has gotten better at his aiming. He used to be pretty off when it came to hitting his target, but he got me in the head once, in the toosh once, and on the back another time and I finally told him that I'd had enough getting pelted with a football. He seemed to be having a good time though!!
Oops!

Oops! It's a good thing that not a lot of people had their dogs out in our yard today. Both of the kids went face first at least once. I thought about throwing them straight down in the snow, but Jackson just weighs too much for me to pick him up high, and Auri would have been very upset had I done it to her. It was a cool thought though. At least in my head it was cool!!!
Snuggle and warm up time with Daddy. She was very cold. But she warmed up fast, look at that face. She can melt your heart and will always have you wrapped around her tiny little pretty fingers. My Sweetheart!!!
I hope the rest of you enjoyed the snow (whether looking at it or playing in it) as much as I did. I love winter and I love snow. I am glad that I didn't have to drive in it, but it really is one of the most beautiful things God could have ever given to us. Enjoy the weather and have a cup of coffee or Constant Comment tea, with an egészségedre! (Cheers) from me to you!!

Hmmm, Constant Comment is my favorite tea! I almost always have it in the house, except now. Enjoy a cup for me!
We plan to take our two out sledding tomorrow while Daddy is off. I can't wait because it will be the first time Merci has got to play in the snow and the first time for both to go sledding. I'll be sure to post some pictures!
Have a great week! :0)
SO CUTE!!! I can't believe the snow is almost up to Auri's waist!
That's quite a dump of snow. Thanks for posting the shots.
We've had nothing to speak of this winter, just wind and rain. It's been worse than last year for lack of snow. I really miss the snowfalls we seemed to get when I was a kid in the 1970's and 80s.
