Please?
I absolutely love how Beth managed to get them both to look up at her while getting a cute picture like this. They’re so much fun.

So it wasn’t exactly the big storm they were predicting, but we did manage to get about six inches of the stuff on Saturday. Enough to justify getting the driveway blown out.

So we didn’t end up going anywhere on Saturday, which in some ways was expected. It was kind of nice. We set up the Christmas stuff and did some things around the house like that. I spent a lot of time on Flickr…and I took more pictures of course. Currently have over 3,250 pictures online with a total (root) photostream visit count of over 5,000. I was able to do some catching up there this weekend, which was good.

We didn’t make it to church today because of the snow event. The plow didn’t go by on the road until somewhere around 9:30. I went outside to do some cleaning up (shoveling around the doors and in front of the garage, etc.) after the plow went the first time (it takes two passes). But it was pretty obvious that the driveway would need to be blown out this time. We had a few 12-18″ drifts across the driveway, and that doesn’t learn much for leaving the yard.

So sometime around 10:30 Josh came over on his route and blew out the driveway. I was in the shower at the time, but he knows what we like to have done with that so it wasn’t a big deal. It’s nice to have that ‘service’ available. What I find interesting is that he almost always does our driveway before he does his own — that’s awfully nice of him.

We took Kirstin out in the snow for a bit today. She didn’t know what to think about it all at first, but then she got pretty cold (her face, namely) and didn’t want to have any more to do with the outside. We did get her on the kicksled, though, and that was neat for a few minutes. There’s even a picture of it! 🙂

So that was more or less the weekend in a nutshell. Not terribly exciting, but nice to really be somewhat relaxed. For once. 🙂 And seeing as how it’s now about -5.5 outside and nearly midnight, I’m heading for bed. Must get my ‘beauty sleep’ seeing as how I’m getting my hair cut in the morning!

So until next time…
