**SNOWED IN**

Yes it is true...MORE SNOW!
Lots more, 12-13 inches more of really cold white snow. This was considered to be the biggest blizzard in the Quad Cities since the 70's. The wind gust got up to 40mph last night which made some pretty big snow drifts. The snow was so deep that we we are literally snowed in as we speak. Everything is closed down and temperatures are supposed to drop even more. Our yard was really a sight to see. 
 Chris had quite the shoveling job ahead of him and Trey helped of course. Even after all that shoveling unless some melts or our roads get plowed we will still be stuck.  Cars were getting stuck left and right today, it was insane.
 Jax was having a blast in the snow, he was jumping all in the piles that Chris made. His poor whiskers, eyelashes, and nostrils were frozen and had little ice chunks forming on them. LOL, he did not even care and it was pretty funny how he blended into the snow.
 Treyson enjoyed eating the snow again and we even taught him about the "yellow" snow. Ha, he is such a character!
 He was having such a blast running though the path that Chris shoveled. He called them "tunnels of snowing!" It was freezing and he was covered in snow. This kids is crazy!
 When we got inside the coldness started to set in I think and his little runny nose and cheeks were so cute. All he wanted was to be wrapped up in his blanket for a while to stay warm. 
 I made him and Daddy some hot chocolate, chicken noodle soup, and grilled cheese sandwiches. This is a must for snow day and it always warms you right up.
 Porter finally decided to wake up and was his happy little self. He probably smelt the food knowing him!
This storm has made Chris miss school for 2 days which is so nice. It so awesome to have him home during the day, in the middle of the week, and to spend some quality time together. I guess these cold "snow days" aren't so bad after all:)

Wow, that is CRAZY! I wish it would snow like that here- maybe not quite SO much, but at least a little. We have a full yard of green grass yet the temperature is 0 degrees. We can't even enjoy the cold cause we have no snow! How fun for your boys!
