Well, I have taken a few pictures here and there. I am playing with my camera and trying to figure out f/stops and shutter speeds. I am slowly getting it. However, the reason for the picture is to show the awesome blizzard that we are having as I am writing this at 7:30 pm. When I woke up this morning to my alarm at 6:00 I looked outside, turned on the radio, listened for the school closing and went back to bed. We alread had 7 inches on the ground and as of now, I believe we have 8-10 inches and the wind is blowing, creating drifts of up to 8 feet in the back yard between our garage and the neighbors garage! Way cool!!!

We made chocolate, chocolate chunk cookies and stayed inside and watched the drifts get higher and higher.

Sydney, Chase, and Michele were itchin' to go outside and play...Helllooo, it's a blizzard outside! So after buggin' me for far too long (I kept telling them it was too cold) I told them to "GO" Well, they went! It took them about 5-10 minutes to find their coats, snowpants, hats, gloves, scarves and boots. After they bundled up and were all excited about going out in the snow to play they went out and jumped in the gigantic snow drift and came back inside in less than 1.5 minutes and said it was too cold. I laughed. They came in, and took off their clothes and wet gloves and with rosy red cheeks Michele declared that she never wants to go back out there again...too funny. I did not go out there to take a shot of them in the snow, I'm not crazy, but this is from the back door as they were headed for the drift...
