even more snow!

I think it has finally stopped snowing. Looks like we got about 8 inches. I couldn't measure the same way I have been because under the snow on the table is now a couple of inches of ice so I couldn't put the ruler in the middle, only on the edge or the table. 

The layer of ice under the snow means that our gate was frozen shut. But we broke it free and can open one side of the gate. In any case we parked the CRV at the end of the driveway so that if we do have to leave, we don't have to shovel anything.

Miran, Azra and I played in the snow a bit. There was a big snowball fight that didn't get documented because we were all involved. But we made a couple snowmen. First Azra ...

Then I made him a friend with a little help from Miran, who also made another mini-snowman in between, which you can see if you look very closely.

 But making snowmen with a dog around is complicated. Kico stole the carrot noses off the snowmen more than once, and here I caught him trying to steal the hat off Azra's.

And he kept eating the head of Miran's mini-snowman. I guess he thought it was a ball because Miran kept holding it in his hand trying to put on eyes and a mouth and Kico kept grabbing it. Then when Miran stepped away Kico ate it right of the snowman himself!

Finally, I made a snow angel ...

Which was also complicated by Kico who kept trying to lick my face and then immediately stepped in it and ruined it as soon as I got up.

 But we are all enjoying our three days off. It feels like a holiday and we are all having a little trouble working. This last picture is just the view out our front door. Its a winter wonderland!
