Digging out!
We've had A LOT of snow here over the past week. Yesterday we got the most, probably about 2 feet. I love the snow, and I actually like shoveling when its manageable. But...this was ridiculous!! We don't own a snowblower, so in order for Jeff to even be able to get into the driveway last night after work, I had to shovel. Ugh!! Mason and Mallorie and I went out and shoveled for about 2 hours and got one half of the driveway clear, including all the stuff that the snowplow piles up in front of the driveway. It was a workout!! Thank goodness for my two little helpers. My poor 32 year old body felt like a 70 year old body last night. I'm feeling much better today, though. Thankfully, Jeff's dad came up with his snowblower last night and did the rest for us. He really saved us! There was no way we could have shoveled all of that by ourselves. Thanks Bill!! Here are some pics.

Funny little thing...
On the first Saturday of every month, Home Depot has a free build for kids. So, the night before this monthly extravaganze, our kids usually spend the night with Grandma and Grandpa Hinds. Then they go the next morning and meet Aunt Missy and Jack and they build. Its really kinda cool, they make a neat wooden thing each month that they get to take home. They also got a Home Depot apron in kid size that they then get a pin to put on for each thing they complete. Pretty cool, huh?
Since tomorrow is the first Saturday of the month, the kids are spending the night. On our way to take them down earlier this evening, Jeff told me a story about something that someone in our family did that was extremely funny and kind of embarassing (don't ask because I will not tell you what it is!) Well, of course Mason heard this and repeated it, laughing hysterically. Now if you know Mason, or have ever been around a 4 year old, you know that they repeat EVERYTHING. To anyone. And the funnier or more embarassing it is, the more likey it is that they will repeat it. Knowing this, I told Mason "Do not tell anyone that or say anything to Grandma or Grandpa about it." So, Mason agreed not to say anything and we thought the subject was done. A couple of minutes later, Mason says in his cutest silly voice "Dad, I just can't get it out of my head". We laughed so hard! We'll see tomorrow if he brought it up or not.
