School and Snow

Wow what a week so far. We got pounded over the weekend again with about a foot of more snow. We shoveled out and cleaned off my parent's roof. Then the rain started and everything started melting. Oh my goodness, what a mess!!! The school started freaking out because so many roof in town were collapsing and they had not gotten their roofs cleared off. So they canceled school Monday and Tuesday to get the roofs and side walks cleared off. The plow came through and pushed the snow way far back to make room for the kids to walk to school and they started 2 hours late today. The parking lots are nothing but ice. It reminds me of my days in Alaska. Yesterday Jay and the boys spent the whole day clearing off 3 1/2 feet of snow off our roof and helping our neighbors with theirs. Boy were they tired today but happy to get back to school. It is just a bummer that they cannot go outside to for recess because there is 5 feet of snow on the playground. Sean has started with the schools robotics team again and is looking forward to going to Seattle this spring for the regional competition. The rest of the boys are enjoying making a little money helping neighbors dig out.
