Snowy Saturday

Thats right, snowy, snowy Saturday.  Total, we got about 24 inches of snow, with drifts in some places up to 4 feet tall (mainly on the side of the house).  For a while it was sleet, mainly last night and early this morning, and then it came down to blizzard conditions this afternoon and early evening.  It has slowed down now, but it's coming down still, just very slowly.  I took Bailey, Jett and Marly all out to play in it.  I only got pictures and video of Bay today, but tomorrow, I will get some of the other two.  I cant get Sadie to go out in it for the life of me.  If it were up to her, she'd pee directly on the porch.  As a matter of fact, she keeps trying to do that, and we keep kicking her out into the yard, lol.

Yesterday, Layla went to Dad's house and hung out with him for the night.  She came back around noon today and CRASHED for about a 4.5hr nap!  She was EXHAUSTED!  She told me that they went out and built a snow fort (they were using the styrofoam coolers that steaks are shipped from Omaha steaks) and then had a snowball fight and started to build a snowman.  She had so much fun!  I'll ask him next time I see him if they took any pictures.  I plan on taking her out in the snow tomorrow too and getting some pictures and video.  It oughta be fun with her and the dogs.

We made brownies, and of course, Layla was my big helper.  And of course, like all 5 year old helpers (and many older ones that I know, lol) she had to lick the stiring spoon.  And of couse I got pictures of that.  She's a great kid, and did a great job helping me making brownies and cleaning it up as well.  Rick made a awesome batch of chilli that is gone already!  Even Layla liked it, and she usually is anti-spicey stuff, lol!

Tomorrow Mike, Mom and I are going to a hockey game.  We have to get Mike since he doesn't have 4-wheel drive and his drivway has a giant tree across it.  I cant wait though.  The Penguins are going DOWN!  Wish us luck!
