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!

Me and Mary Ege!

Sparklers and a Firepit

 We love hanging out with our neighbors!  They are so fun AND they are the only other people on the street who come out of their house!!!!  To finish up the long weekend, we had a special school night firepit and Monica brought out sparklers!!  There is something magical about them for sure!  Happy Fall!!!
