Still snowing!

As I was fairly confident we could get the car out today I was surprised to see it had snowed a few more inches overnight and was still snowing. My confidence faltered. Our car barely made it out yesterday since the snow was so high it was touching the underside of the car. With a few inches on top of that I figured there was no way we were getting the car out easily this morning so I kept the kids home from school. Jason left for work since he takes the bus and the girls and I headed outside for some shoveling. Well, the girls played and I shoveled. I shoveled for about an hour and a half and still have about another hour to go before I will be able to easily drive the car out of our road. The girls were cold though and needed to come in to warm up. After lunch we will head outside again and I will finish shoveling out to the road from where we are parked and then just create a single walking path all the way to our house. That way I don't have to shovel all the way to our house and we won't have to trudge through a foot of snow to get to our car every day. As much as shoveling isn't fun and it is slightly irritating that noone else on our road is helping me shovel (especially as Sofia keeps asking, "why are you and daddy the only ones who have to shovel?), it is still nice to be outside and the snow is beautiful.
