Oh, Snooooow!!!!!! (I knoooow!)

So we officially got 27 inches of snow and we are stuck. We live at the bottom of a hill, so we had a lot of crazy drifting action. We also live in a cul-du-sec, so we are pretty low priority as far as the city is concerned. A snow plow tried to clear our street this morning, but got stuck and had to get a bigger truck to tow it out. We were then abandoned.

We've eaten all of our rations and are already turning on each other. Hey, look - a Mars bar!! Ok, we're cool for another thirty minutes.

Here is a creepy shut-in-esque picture of the snow taken through the window blinds.


Oh, Bloggy. What happened to us? Now we are just talking about the weather? Is that what we have become? Yes? Ok then.

Anyway...So our family and our next door neighbor's family are trapped. Yep. Snowed in. Anyone seen The Shining? This really reminds of that because Ava's giant round eyes look just like Shelley Duvall's. Also the excessive snow. And also Tim keeps talking to an invisible bartender. (But to be fair, he did that long before it started snowing.)

The kids are dealing with being snowed in and their father's insanity in their own ways. Alexander is trying to sleep it out. Yes, he actually TOOK A NAP. Awww...He looks like a boogery angel when he's sleeping:



He's also been visiting the invisible bartender. He pretends to sip tea out of a little plastic teacup and giggles as he says "Needs salt!"


Ava's started talking to the cats. For reals. Whenever she sees a cat, she doesn't say "cat". She says something that sounds a lot like "meow." So she's bilingual. Not bragging... just saying....



OK. Tim's repeatedly sticking his head through the door and shouting "Here's Johnny!" I'm going to go see if that invisible bartender knows any invisible therapists.

Stoopid snow.
