We finally decided with the 30 degree temperature and the 5 inches of snow we got yesterday (on top of our 3in ice) that it was a good day to get Paige out in the snow for the first time. We aren't sure how she felt about the experience but we did have a few smiles and no tears. We went sledding down the drive way and daddy pulled us around the cul-de-sac! She was too cute in her pink Winnie the Pooh snowsuit :)
Here are some pictures from our week of winter weather.

| Attempting to chip away the ice today. We put salt down before the storm but that did us no good. Between the two of us over the course of the last few days we have been to at least 10 stores looking for more salt but everyone is sold out. We did get some sand down on Friday and that helped with traction but as you can see we still have the ice to deal with. If you are wondering...I gave up pretty quickly so this is pretty much what our driveway still looks like. |

I found Brian's hand print in the driveway as I was shoveling. Poor guy fell 3 times in the time we were out with Paige but don't worry he is fine. 5 inches of snow doesn't provide much traction on top of the 3 inches of ice. I don't think he will be wearing his winter work boots out when there is ice on the ground ever again. |
