Snovember Part 2

 Well it happened again!  Another Snovember storm!  About 8 years ago we got hit with a ridiculous snow storm in November and it has happened again.  Everyone started talking about it last Monday and we all blew it off.  It snows all the time here and whenever the weathermen make a big deal about a storm, it never usually ends up happening!

Well this time, it happened!

It snowed overnight on Thursday (exactly as predicted) and just didn't stop!  We lost power around 7am and it didn't go back on until around1.  But honestly it was fine and we didn't even use the generator!

Thank God for Mark and Oliver!  They shoveled like crazy for hours!

And Claire did our part too!

But it just wouldn't stop!  These pictures are all from Friday, the 18th!

Saturday morning the sun was shining and it FINALLY stopped snowing! So Mark got up and got right to work clearing us out of the driveway.  The plan was to get one car out and one lane out to the street so we could leave if we had to.  There was a driving ban so no one could really anywhere but it felt good to be free!

We decided to just clear a path from our door to my parents so that if they needed to get out they could just use our car for now.

I still can't even believe that Mark (with some help from Oliver) shoveled all of that snow.  We really need to think about investing in a snowblower.

Claire and I came out and helped clear off the car!

Sweet success!  This took much longer than you would think it did!

There was just so much snow but, it was really just so pretty!  I loved being snowed in!  Claire and I baked and watched some fun TV, Oliver snuggled up and watched all kinds of sports and really helped Mark out. Life is so crazy busy that I love us all being "stuck" together.  Well, as long as my rockstar husband keeps shoveling me out lol.

Yesterday we shoveled out my parents (and I can say we this time because Claire and I went out and helped poor Mark) and cleared off their cars!

Then we had to get salt so a stop at Starbucks was necessary! 

Then school closed again for Tuesday so we decided it was perfect time to walk up to Fattys and do some day drinking!

We even talked our neighbors into meeting us!  We had a blast!  Can't say that I hate Snovember the Sequel!
