Here we are. 7 days ago we moved into the house. Not one of those days have the kids and I left the house.
Yes, we love it THAT much.

In reality, we can't leave. The snow is THAT bad. Woke up to blizzard conditions today which was quite frightening to see on top of the 3 feet we got last weekend. The house is rattling the wind gusts are so intense. This weather will give us a good idea of how well this house is built, especially when the show starts to melt. At least the basement isn't finished yet, so if water does run in, it won't be too much of an issue.

We can no longer see the fence surrounding our backyard. And the snow piles from the plows are as high as the street signs. We don't really need to open the blinds on the kids' bedrooms either. The snow on the porch roof is piled so high the windows are half covered.

Avery has no school until Tuesday. Thankfully we have learned there are no 'snow days' here. The 'commonwealth' of VA mandates 155 days of school to call it a school year. So our county builds a 180 day school year and if there is inclement weather, it is just a day off. So no Saturday school days here, or going to school through July.

We celebrated Avery's 6th birthday on Monday. In order to make her cake, we had to borrow eggs from our neighbor, the grocery stores were closed, too much snow on the rooves. She really wants to celebrate at Chuckie Cheese, so once we are snow free we'll face the chaos.

We still have power, and we have almost completely unpacked. Have almost lost our sanity as well:)
