snow, snow, snow

Well, I do not claim to be a fan of winter or snow or any of the things that go along with it. Why I am still living in Wisconsin, I am not sure. I would say it is because it is simpler than trying to convince our entire family to move elsewhere. I am already working on my own kids suggesting that they can live someplace warm so mommy can have a way out of here:):) I guess the snow is pretty. If we could have snow and not freezing cold, I think I would be okay with it. I almost like it when it just snows and the temps are reasonable (like 20's or 30's). Dave claims to enjoy it (another big reason we are in WI!) and thinks I should just give snowmobiling another shot (I find this pastime to be cold!).
So, anyway, this rant about winter is brought on by the continual snow events taking place and the fact that we have a horrendous driveway (somewhat long -about 500 feet and VERY steep). I took Addie to the store this morning to pick up a few things and we could not get up the driveway - grrrr! At least I was able to back it into the snow halfway down so we didn't have to walk the whole thing. She was super funny when I got stuck and started sliding backwards. She started whimpering and saying 'me house, me house'. Then she thought it was pretty funny when I told her mommy got the van (which,btw, is AWD) stuck in the snow. At least the cleanup was not my deal - that is Dave's department:)
Definately looking like a white Christmas and Santa should have smooth sailing!
