The storm was a lot of fun though. We got Regin all suited up and out there playing in it.
Two buddies. Cracks me up that Smilla squishes herself onto those steps to avoid laying on our hardwood floor. Poor thing needs a dog bed! The sweater is one my mom made for my nephew Elias who is now 17. I have a pile of handed-down knitwear in our closet. Cool stuff!
She LOVES the snow. How lucky are we to have found another dog that loves the snow? She even ran around the yard and lept up into the air to snatch snowflakes out of the sky!
Regin loved being out there too (he's been asking me since then, "Mamma, where's the snow???"). But he had a lot of trouble getting himself up every time he fell down in that chunky snowsuit.
At first I suggested we throw snowballs at each other, but with his aim I knew I would get grumpy with that game fast, so then we teamed up and threw snowballs at Smilla.
We made the beginnings of a snow fort using a bucket to mold the bricks. We got about three bricks high and 5 or 6 bricks wide before I had to come inside. My clothes might look warm, but it's all show. They soaked through and I was growing icicles. Regin, on the other hand, could not be convinced to come inside without serious bribery. I need some better snow clothes. I wonder what I can find for pregnant chicks.
DAY 2
The snow didn't stop all through the second day. George worked from home that day. He got some of shots of how thick it was on his iphone.
Those things on the left are our sunflowers. Never did measure them at full height, but I estimate around 11'-12'. I think they must have had a good foot of snow on top of each flower.
So much for that snow fort. Where did it go?
George got to shovel the driveway.
Check out my car!
