12/12/10 – The Great Dig Out of 2010

Well, we were still trapped in the house today. No more snow, but the plows didn’t come through our area until around 2:00PM. So, we had another forced family day! Ha.

Christian’s dad managed to get to our house, and they worked on my car…again…hopefully for the LAST time. I hung out with the girls and started laundry while they did that. After they finished, and I got Amelia down for her nap, and the rest of us hung out downstairs until Olivia’s nap time. Since we rarely go downstairs anymore, Olivia rarely sees most of her toys. She was like a kid in a candy shop when we got down there…and literally played with every single toy she owns in about 5 minutes flat. It does not take long for her to destroy the basement, that’s for sure! I finally got her down for a late nap, and Christian headed outside to do one last sweep with the snow blower…especially since the plow finally came through and blocked us in again.

We were very upset that football day was canceled though. The Vikings were supposed to play the Giants today. The game had already been rescheduled for Monday night last night because the Giants were re-routed to Kansas City when our airport closed down. Well…early this morning the roof of our dome collapsed, and tore, and the stadium filled up with snow! So, they’ve now moved the game to Detroit, tomorrow night. I do not think the Vikings deserve a new stadium, but I do think the fans do…and this should be point enough!

I finished laundry (and, actually got everything put away), cleaned up the kitchen and washed dishes and we all just took it easy. Not much choice anyway! All in all, we got about 21” of snow at our house, from about 9:00PM Friday, to 7:00PM Saturday. That’s a lot of snow!

I did a mini photo-shoot with Amelia tonight. She's too cute not to! By the end, she was sick of my picture taking though, and trying to take the camera away from me! LOL
