Can't Get a Good Princess Down

Elyse: Listen up! We are not going to let this snow get us down! We embrace the snow and rule over it as Ice Princesses!
Felicity: Um...can someone from Wardrobe fix my earring?I don't think it's a coincidence that I'm dressed like Snow White...since our whole city is snow white too!!

We are getting pretty CRAZY being so home-bound lately. In the Frozen Tundra, at least they know how to clear out the snow and streets and get on with life; but here we have to wait days and weeks to get back to normal. Until some sort of normal returns to our crazy town, we're just going to have to rule the roost looking fancy!

Snowtastrophe!

After an amazing time frolicking with friends and family in the Frozen Tundra, we drove a LONG WAYS back home with Mom and Grandpa. Our crazy road trip ended with a nice week at home getting all unpacked and settled in. Grandpa did some work around the area and then came back to DC to have one last weekend with us.

Little did he know that he'd be STUCK HERE due to the GREAT SNOWTASTROPHE OF 2010!!!

The news stations said "Gather supplies! Prepare for the worst storm we've ever seen! The world may be ending due to SNOW!" and other nonsensical things that those of us who are from the Frozen Tundra (or whose parents are from there) think are ridiculous! In fact, we spent much of the weekend laughing at all of the silliness: schools closed preemptively before the snow and for days after it stopped, streets remaining unplowed for DAYS after the snow stopped, our street being half-plowed, etc. We guess the people here just don't appreciate the snow we brought with us from the Frozen Tundra!

Daddy and Grandpa shoveled and shoveled and shoveled. In the end, we got close to 30 inches!!

We weren't very helpful, exactly, but we had a great time watching the hard workers:

And after two straight days of continuous snow, the sun shines, the sky is blue, and we have mountains of snow:

The piles are taller than Dad and Grandpa!

Overall, we had a nice weekend with Mom, Dad, and Grandpa. We enjoyed fires in the fireplace, yummy food, and playing dolls with Grandpa!
