Snow day!

 We've been waiting for snow and it finally came!  Spencer has this obsession with getting the driveway clear of snow so when the car drives on it the snow doesn't turn into ice.  The house he grew up in has a steep driveway and so it was important that they shovel the snow before they drove on it to avoid slipping off the driveway.  Fortunately, the boys think it's super fun to shovel the driveway so I had lots of help.  Reece helped me before school, Benson helped me during school, and then I gave up after that because the snow was coming down faster then I could shovel.  We then had our friend Maggie over and the kids played in the backyard for about an hour.  Reece made a cool little hill and Benson made a tunnel.  Bensons hat got turned around and the flap that goes over his ears was in front of his face so every 5 seconds or so he would lift his head up, pull the flap out of his face so he could see, and then the flap would fall over his face again and he would get to work.  It was HILARIOUS! It makes me laugh thinking about it.

Reece's OCD tendencies got to the best of him.  He couldn't stand it that ice was left on our driveway from my tires (yes..it's true, I didn't shovel everytime I left the house and so the snow turned into ice) and so he spent 20 minutes by himself trying to chip it off.  I was cold and the baby was crying so I went inside.  But I was proud of him for working so hard!
