Well it is official, winter is here. Since Friday we have received well over 20cm of snow. This wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t -40 at the same time. There is just something not fun about shoveling 2 feet of snow with boogers frozen to your face. (Too bad I didn’t get a picture)
The upside was that I was able to take my time on account that we were completely snowed in – trapped on our street. We live in a new subdivision that is half full, and it is a close. Add them together and you get next to no traffic or a chance to escape.
It was unfortunate timing as the annual kids Christmas party was on Saturday. I did attempt an escape through the back alley but the snow was too much for the old Hyundai. Two neighbors, a shovel, and thirty minutes later I was back inside cold, wet, and a bruised ego. This was the first time I’ve ever actually been ‘stuck.’ I was beginning to feel the onset of Cabin Fever, and the cat begin to look surprisingly tasty. No biggie though, as I don’t think Baby Allison was too hurt about missing her party, but Daddy was sure looking forward to stuffing his face full of cake and asking Santa for a new laptop.
Sunday was better; two enormous ruts were formed giving us a chance to escape. The wife had a photo shoot scheduled so it was do or die. We packaged up Baby Allison, threw the shovel in the trunk and headed out. Like a pinball machine, we bounced around at the mercy of the road and made our grand escape to freedom!
Once on the main roads, traveling was great. And as luck would have it, it turned out that Santa was at the mall where they were offering a free picture for baby’s first Christmas.
It was a cold, back breaking weekend but it couldn’t of ended any better:
Creepiest Santa Ever.
