My dogs, Spooky (the weim) and Murphy (the basset.) We cleard them a path shortly after the snow stopped. Spooky, who is 10 and has a hurt leg, is less than thrilled. Murphy is still a pup and loves the snow. He runs in it, although his feet don't actually touch the ground. Cute. Stinky, but cute.
These three little guys are my munchkins that relentlessly bothered us all day to go outside. Once the temperatures reached double-digits, I could take it no longer. It was worth the 10 minutes of peace to spend 20 minutes getting them bundled up, 30 minutes peeling off clothes and getting them re-dressed, 20 minutes getting hot chocolate ready & 2 loads of laundry. I caved. They were out for all of 10 minutes. The baby made it to the back of the yard, started crying & Matt had to carry him in.
This, my friends, is our very own Ice Dam. It's really fun. It formed after the storm, and allows water to seep into our walls on the interior of the house. Our sheet rock in the kitchen and bathroom is mushy. Water that melts on the top of our roof, rolls down & under the ice & into our home. Cozy, no?
We are full of excitement here at the Roberts house! The kids are driving us nuts, I have a sinus infection, though I'm unable to get to the doc, and we have a hurt dog that needs to see a vet. Oh - and NOTHING sweet in the house. We've been on a diet. THIS IS NO TIME TO DIET FOLKS! I NEED CHOCOLATE & I NEED IT NOW! I'm going to try to find something to make with the Almond Bark left over from Christmas.....I might just resort to gnawing on it....
Despite our major home damage, we really are enjoying being together. Matt's been off work, and we've really been snowed in. There's no place open to go & even if there was, there is no way to get there! I love our little family & am thankful for this time to be snowed in together.
