Daddy's Helper!

The Blizzard of 2010 is still in progress.....snow, snow, and more snow. It seems like all we do is shovel the driveway! Hannah didn't go to the babysitter's house all last week because of snow days (and this week isn't looking promising, since another foot has fallen today), and I'm sure it hasn't been easy for Jon to keep her entertained. However, Hannah loves to be outside, so at least we can wear her out a little by playing in the snow. She is always running for her boots and coat, and it's so much fun to see her run around outside. She especially loves helping Daddy shovel snow.

Let's go, Mommy!All set to go outsideOur snow bunny! Shoveling
She's a very eager helper!

(But, this snow was a little too heavy for her to push)

Of course, Abby wants in on the action too!

Yep, that is a LOT of snow.

Hannah and Daddy survey their work.

Hannah takes off running for the neighbor's house.

Little Miss Independent never looked back!

Once the work was done, Hannah was all ready for a ride!

Hannah didn't want to ride in her sled - at all. But, she wanted to be in her wagon...and go for a walk down the street. I discovered it's "slightly" difficult to pull a wagon down the sidewalk when there is over a foot of snow out. Fortunately, the next 2 houses down from us shoveled their walks, but at house number 3 we had to turn around. Hannah wasn't amused, so we went up and down part of the street a number of times.

Once we were done outside, we made hot chocolate with milk on the stove. Hannah thought the marshmallows were the best part!
