let it snow, let it snow, make it stop!

We got hammered with snow over the last 2 days here in southeastern Wisconsin. I went out to clear our driveway and sidewalk and then helped the neighbor across the street who's blower broke a belt. Later on after we had played for a while, we walked down by another neighbor's place (the girls who Natty plays with). It looked like their blower was dead too so I helped them clear their snow too. It was wet heavy snow that wasn't treating the smaller snowblowers well at all. Anyway...on to the playing story. Natalie came out with me while Lynn finished some things in the house. Natty and I built snow forts in preparation for a big family snowball fight later on. When Lynn came out, we went out front and built a couple of snowmen. One big one (a snow woman according to Natalie) and a small one. We then went in back and occupied our forts. We bombed each other for about 40 minutes. We then decided to go for a walk down the block which was when we saw our neighbors having problems. I went up to the door to ask if they needed help and invited their girls out to play with Natalie. After clearing their snow we came back to our place and the 2 little girls had fun hiding in the fort I built earlier.
