We celebrated Christmas at my parents house the Sunday before Christmas. The boys got lots of great gifts from everyone, but one of the big hits were snow shovels from Uncle Rodney. Jackson was especially excited about his snow shovel, and immediately started asking (and continued to ask every 5 minutes) if it was snowing yet.
Thankfully, on Wednesday (the day after Christmas) the snow finally came.
The boys were so excited, and couldn't wait to go and shovel the snow. After their nap, all 4 of us bundled up and headed out to clear the 3 inches or so that had accumulated in the driveway.
Here is a picture of Lincoln doing his part....
They did pretty good, pushing the snow around on the driveway. Then, they "helped" me clear the sidewalk in the front of the house. I was concerned it was going to turn into a snowball fight when they thought it was fun to get the snow on their shovels and throw it at each other. But, they aren't quite 3, so the snow fell off the shovel before they could really throw it at each other. Next year will be another story.
Jackson kept saying over and over how much fun it was to shovel snow. He even said that after he fell down a few times on the icy driveway!
Mr. Herb wanted to know how much the boys charge for helping...I think we'll send the boys over to help him for the next snowfall!
Looking forward to more snow this winter, now that we have twice as much help in clearing the driveway!
