Baby It's Cold Outside

It has been a very cold and snowy couple of weeks here. School has been cancelled several times. We shoveled our driveway one night about 8:00 pm so we could get out the next morning. Carl shoveled about 6-10 inches that night. The next morning we woke up to 10-12 inches in our driveway. Carl put his truck into 4 wheel drive and headed off to work. He left me with our powerless minivan and 12 inches of snow to shovel. I was out in the snowy driveway shoveling snow for an hour before I realized I needed some major help. I called my Dad. Both he and Lance came to my rescue. It still took another 45 minutes with 3 of us shoveling and 1 using the snow blower. Wow!! We had a ton of snow. The next week it warmed up a bit and made a mess. We had dirty slush everywhere. Our oldest daughter, Kensie, came home from school that day and promptly took off her shoes and pants. They were soaking wet from stepping in every slush puddle from the bus stop to our house. Later I went to check on her. She was in the bathroom with the door locked. I asked her if she was okay. She said she was. I then asked what she was doing. She unlocked the door and there she was soaking her feet in a sink full of hot water. All I could do was laugh and ask her if she wated to have a hot bath. She assured me that this was better than any bath. What a smart little cookie!
