The Snow and ice


Unfortuanitly, the camera died before I could take a picture outside but got this blurry picture of Malachi. We woke up this morning to 4 inches of snow and a layer of ice and let me tell you it was a FUN morning. A layer of ice makes it not possible to sled, and the ice disabled us and we were trapped in the house. The good side is that I didnt have to go to work, but as the morning progressed the electricity cut off. This is depressing especially when you want a hot meal.
We managed by getting the fire going and getting the generator up and started. The generator did not want to start so that was a bit frustrating, but the gas was bad and after filtering new gas the generator worked great.
So our morning looked something like this:
A fire going
Malachi playing
The generator working (allowing the modem, wireless router and 3 computers to work)
Mom, Dad, and Elizabeth playing on the computer
Dad going down so often to cut firewood
Getting progressively colder
Busting ice and snow off car
Going to Panera
As we got suited up to leave, the electricity came back on!!!
I came back to play a little xbox which is awesome.
