Cabin fever is setting in...

 Post blizzard bliss is quickly turning into cabin fever!  The piles of snow are beginning to melt during the day and then freeze at night making it much harder to plow!  We have plenty of food and we never lost power so we are totally fine that way but it's getting a bit boring!!  This morning Declan lost his mind when we couldn't figure out what he meant by wanting the blanket "flat".  When I put it flat on the ground, he shrieked and cried with frustration.  We finally figured out that he wanted to sit on the blanket and have Aoife drag him around!

Blizzard Aftermath

 Today is the first blizzard related snowday - well the first REAL one!  Friday was an anticipatory snowday!  We spent the day playing outside and making a huge mess inside the house!!  Everyone loved playing outside and it was fun to be out there with all of the neighbors!

Digging out from the Blizzard

 We woke up this morning to a beautiful day!!  Sunny and calm and snow EVERYWHERE!!  We ended up getting just under 30 inches!  So much snow!!!!We spent the day shoveling out sidewalks, cars and even the street!!  Our street is one of very few in Arlington that is plowed - so we feel VERY lucky for that!  The end of the street isn't plowed so we tried to go sledding but it was just too deep!!  If we end up staying here, this could be the most snow that we will ever see!!

This picture is from Emmy's teacher - a crazy look at what happens when the roads aren't plowed!!

That night we pulled the firepit out and had a street party with our neighbors!!  It was so fun and we even had a TV outside and got to watch the AZ/Carolina game!
