Slacking Proves More Exhausting Than One Might Think....
Well, the good news is... losing your power for 48 hours does make for a clean refrigerator. Phew. First - thanks to Mom and Dad for letting us hang out at your nice warm house, eat your food, sleep in your bed and make a wee bit of noise.
As usual, I really need to be doing other things than blogging (sleep is what I am planning for in the next few minutes) but I wanted to at least get a few photos up. The adventure tales will wait for tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow. Schools are closed ALL WEEK (can you believe that? all stinkin' week) but, I really can't complain, Federal Government is closed again tomorrow as well - woo hoo - the whole house is wearing their pajama's backwards these days.
That said, I really did not need to hear that we have another 10 inches coming our ways. What in the world?! Shaeleigh and I went to the grocery store this afternoon and I'm glad we did. It wasn't bad when we went but by the time we left it was fast becoming a madhouse. We may need to take a trip out tomorrow for batteries or candles - just in case - or maybe just to get out before we can't... again.

The kids are in there somewhere.
Here they are. It was still snowing at this point (and we still had our heat so we were getting wet with abandon). Chance enjoys digging for a time but ultimately concludes that snow is, "too scary." I guess when it comes up to your elbows, you can make a case for that.
Our neighborhood.
We lost this one tree but given the number of trees that have come down, we've been lucky to just lose the one.
The backyard.
Never stand under the icicles!
This is Chance when the house got down to about 50 degrees. The kids didn't really complain about the cold but when I touched their hands they were like ice. I made them both put on two pairs of clothes. Hahaha.
Grandma and Grandpa took us in when we learned the temp was going into single digits overnight and the message on the power company phone line said, "if your power is not on by nightfall, find another place to stay..."
Walking about in Arlington.
Shaeleigh, kickin' back at Grandma and Grandpa's.
Until tomorrow....................

So, when did Central NY move to Virgina? We've had one "mild" storm of 10 inches. 2 weeks with temps in th 50's and now we have about 3 inches on the ground. Keep warm and healthy!
