Nate and Daddy's Bachelor Blizzard Weekend

Mommy went away for the weekend so we were all prepared to have a guys weekend.

We started the day with a nutritious breakfast of Waffles, Chicken Nuggets, and Strawberries.
But then we looked outside...

We have some work to do...

Quincey did some trailblazing for the beagles.


We finally bundled up and headed outside. Nate tried to ride his bike and do all his normal "outside" things (i.e. sidewalk chalk), to little success. You may or may not be able to see the ill fitting gloves Nate is sporting. He was either going to wear these or socks on his hands. Stay tuned for our surefire best selling parenting book.

Now we're getting into the spirit!

He kept getting stuck though.



Nate helping clear off Kevin and Jennifer's van. Don't worry Long's...he only used his rake once. (that I saw*)

He decided to start scooping some snow into his wheelbarrow. What a big help!

Even though Daddy didn't get much shoveling done while Nate was awake, we had a fun weekend!

We really did appreciate your work on the van. It will probably be several weeks before the salt is washed off and the rake marks are visible.
