Belated Snowy Toddler Blogging

We're having our umpteenth winter storm here, which means everybody has to work at clearning snow away. And I do mean everybody:

OK, I did most of the work of clearing a path to the door, but SteelyKid insisted on helping sweep some snow up with her little broom afterwards. The color's a little wonky because it was getting dark, and this was taken with my cell phone. Had I had time to go in and get the good camera, it would've been a million times cuter, but you get the general idea.

Between making a snowman, clearing the door of her house, making snow angels, stage-falling into the snow when she roared like a dinosaur, and, oh yeah, shoveling a foot of snow out of the driveway, I'm too wiped out to get an Appa-for-scale picture, so this will have to do for this week. Hope the roads are clear where you are, or that at the very least you like being where you are for the next several hours.
