It was SUPPOSED to be a boring weekend....

So, since it snowed so much on Friday we were buried! Joel got stuck in the driveway Friday night when he got home from work. He shoveled tracks throught the deep snow to the garage so we could get the car in and the tracks were gone by morning! I had called someone to come plow our driveway, but then my mom called my dad to just come do it with the loader. Which leads us to this situation:

He slid off the driveway into the ditch. He said he didn't know there was a ditch there! I don't believe him... it is a steep slope from the driveway to the ditch though, he just slid right on in. At first I thought he would be able to pull himself out, but it was SO slippery and the tired were right on the edge of the driveway, and he couldn't get over the ridge. He called for help... I didn't think a truck would be able to pull him out...

And here is the casualty that is my lawn:

Luckily I think it is almost all damage to the ditch, not that our lawn is that fabulous in the first place though! I am just praying there is no damage to the driveway, we just got is paved last year!



On a cuter note, since I was outside I let Elsie play in the snow, which she loves!


This is her in the morning looking for a place to go potty:

She had to make a path to the shallower snow

We still have a huge pile of woodchips from the summer, she LOVES to climb on it.

The neighbor's dog, Sadie comes over every time she sees Elsie out, I think she is afraid of her though... Elsie loves big dogs!

Oh! And I finally finished the trim in the baby's room. Now we just have to finish the closet (we ran out of paint) and the trim in the closet, and clean up of course, then it will all be done! We are going to go get the crib next weekend! Yay!



Hope everyone else had a great weekend!
