Two highschoolers that we paid to come shovel us out. It's snowed too much since than to have our door/porch shoveled out.
One day, I went to the post office. Four of my kiddos spotted me and insisted on coming with me. Not only did they come with me, they pulled the sled, loaded the boxes, pulled it to my house and brought the boxes in my house. Then they tried to build stairs in one of our drifts so they could get on the roof.
The drift up to our roof...this was the farthest they could climb on it.
: )
Half of my class with their pen-pal letters from my mom's class and her friends class. These letters are currently hanging up in the hallway because they wanted to show the school their new friends!
