"Walking in a Winter Wonderland....."

So this weekend we were officially SNOWED IN!!!! Friday afternoon it started to snow, and it kept snowing and snowing. Needless to say by Saturday morning, we were completely snowed in!!! There was NO way we were going to be going anywhere, or anytime soon!!! So what do you do on Snow Days?? Well here are a few things of what we did on our Snow Days.....

#1: We watched the snow fall. Madilyn thoroughly enjoyed standing in the living room window, and watching the snow fall.

#2: We drank too much hot chocolate!!!

#3: We got into the Christmas oranges.

#4: We ate too many sweets.

(Thanks Jaycie & Carmen!!!)

#5: We got a little stir crazy. So while Madilyn was napping, Mikey and I went outside for a Snow Race through the enormous snow drifts in the yard. AUSSIE vs. CANADIAN style!!!! It was the most entertaining, fun thing I have done in a long time. Mikey got all geared up at the starting line, and off he went. Running full tilt through the knee high snow drifts, across the yard. I stood there "timing him", in complete awe as I watched my Aussie plow through the snow!!! I then realized that this idea maybe wasn't so great after all!!! I totally thought that I, being The Canadian, would be able to out beat The Aussie fair and square. Needless to say, I lost - hard core. I literally got stuck in the hugest snow drift out by the highway. It was up to my waist - no lie!!!! However, I have come up with the conclusion of why I lost. And it is either A. I am WAY too outta shape, or B. Mikey has WAY too much excitement in him!!!! Anyways, it was definitely a good time!!!

#6: We made the best gingerbread house ever!!!

#7: We watched out the window as my wonderful father came to plow us out!!! What a life saver.

And the funniest part of our Snow Days, was:

#8: Mikey COMPLETELY covering his car with snow!!!! lol. It was just a minor misunderstanding. Haha. It goes something like this....

While my dad was over plowing us out, he mention that we should keep the snow around Mikey's car, so that it would help keep it insulated. Which would make his car more likely to start when he needs to go to work. So anyways, Mikey had gone outside for quite some time. And he later came in with the proudest look on his face. And I was like, "Umm...what have you been up to?" And he's like, "oh I just put snow on my car to insulate it!!"

Me: "Oh good thinkin."

Mikey: "You should go take a look."

Me: "Oh, Ok!!"

Me: "BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....is that a joke Mikey!?!?!"

Mikey: "Umm....no. Why??" (with the most worried look on his face.)

Me: "I am thinking that is not exactly what my dad had in mind. But who knows."

Long story short, this is what I saw when I looked outside. POOR AUSSIE.......

(And YES, Mikey's car is somewhere under this enormous mound of snow!!)

However, I will have you know that it was a great idea after all. It insulated his car very well. And it started right up - that is once he found his car again!!! Even with a temperature of -50 with the wind chill.

Oh, how I love my Mikey....
