What a long week we have had around here. The weather can't seem to make up it's mind and it has caused all sorts of problems. The kids went to school late on Tuesday because of the weather and they haven't made it back since. We have had rain, snow, ice, wind and more rain in such a short amount of time. We lost power at about 7:00 am Thursday morning and it just came back on after Midnight Sunday. Luckily we have a generator so we had heat and we have a gas cooktop so we could make some snacks. It was an interesting week. Hopefully next week goes a little better. :)
By Tuesday night is was snowing pretty good which meant no school on Wednesday.
Alex was so excited because he finally got us to play some games with him. 
We got up Wednesday morning to about 8 inches of snow. 
On Thursday morning we woke up to no power and a whole lot of ice. It was really pretty on the trees but we lost a lot of branches in our yard and a few of our really nice trees are now ruined. 
It did look neat while it was here.
On Friday it was dark all day. It was a weird fog mixed with rain and ice.
Saturday started clean up. The neighbor had a tree come down on his shed so Mike and Alex went over to help him get it off before it did anymore damage.
Now we can get ready for floods. The rain is coming down and melting all of this snow. 
Sunday morning and Alex is in heaven. Our power finally came back on a little after midnight and he has been in xbox withdrawal since Thursday. Hopefully it stays on for good now. It was kind of fun not having power for awhile but after three days it is nice to be able to make coffee and turn on our lights. I am so excited to use my hair dryer today!!!!!!!

YEAH for power! Sounds crazy, but fun (for a day or two). Too bad the power has to go out for Alex to get to play his board games. :) Hope the rain doesn't cause too much flooding!
The kid seriously doesn't own a pair of pants does he? I think he thinks he lives with his Aunt in Cali...
Stefanie, Alex was so excited we would play games with him. He had every one of them downstairs.
Jamie, he refuses to wear pants. He was mad at Mike all day when he made him wear a pair to pick up the trees next door. I think he only owns one pair!!!!!
