Yummy Snow!

Leinna's efforts to help with snow removal!

Yummy!

Now yellow is her favorite color - going to have to teach her about NOT EATING yellow snow!

Thanks to the hard work and effort of my wonderful husband- we have the deck cleared, the snow moved away from the windows on the backside of house, access to our fuel tank for heating oil, garage can be opened again to get the 4-wheeler out, AND we have found the stairs to the deck again!

Being 7 months pregnant, I did what I could to help. Often my job was to take the small shovel and break up the snow pile so Leif could use the scoop shovel to move the snow. My mid-west work ethic wants to be out there helping him much more and for longer periods of time. However, this "snowpocolypse" as they are calling it, has taught me that it's okay to help my husband in other ways- such as having a hot meal ready when he comes in, keeping Leinna entertained so he can rest, and many other ways. Leif is keeping a positive attitude and made a comment about this is the best work out he's had in a long time and then weighed himself and realized he's lost over 15 pounds this Christmas break due to all the snow shoveling.

Even with ALL THE SNOW - Mother Nature is still amazingly beautiful!
