Snow-mageddon!!

Oh and how the kids loved it!!! Just look at that smile! I know this post is a little late but I wanted to post pictures of the crazy (for PA, anyway..) snow we got a couple of weeks ago! Two big storms, within days of each other, dumping approximately 15 inches each.. CRAZY! This a pic of the first pass..

And what good is having all that snow if you don't partake in a good ole fashioned snowball fight?? Hmmm?? Exactly. Mike and I thought it was our parental duty to introduce the kids to the art of snowfort making and snowball warfare. Which went over... Okay... Mikey whined the entire time we were building our fortresses.. (too boring for him, he wanted to get right to the throwing snow at his sisters part..) The girls had a blast building their castles, however the first rogue snowball that hit Lillian put her out of the game.. (crying and whining because she got hit..) Well, hate to break it to ya girlie, but that is part of the game!!! It was boys vs. girls and it was a very gruesome war.. Ending only when the elder Mike tackled me like a linebacker and threw me to the ground.. destroying the girls fort in the process.. Bully. Here we are in the process of making our fort, and Mike thinking he is funny by shaking snow on Maria..

Let the snow fly!!

This was a serious competition.. Just look at Mikey's focused look.. Never taking his eyes off his target.. His father taught him well.

And the inevitable demise of the girls' team.. This is me flattened after Mike ran over me.. Our poor fort..

After snowfall #2..

Granny would be so proud.. Her little Snapper did us proud!! Worked like a champ eating that snow and spitting it back out.. I know she was smiling down at us from up in Heaven..

And last.. Fezzik.. He LOVES the snow.. This was in our driveway after the 2nd pass.. Up to his belly.. At least another 15 inches! He should have been a Husky..
