Removing Snow From the Roof

…and someone else is visiting

Friday, February 12

 

 

Cerwin decided that it was not good for our house roof to have so much snow on it, so recruited visiting grandsons Nate and Jordan to help with the job.

 

 

How nice that these guys had decided to spend two days with us following the blizzard.

 

 

 

 

After finishing the front they took a break, then worked on the back of the house.

 

 

Now what could Josh be up to?

He was not able to be on the roof shoveling snow because of an injured shoulder.

 

 

He came to the kitchen to ask if I had a bucket or bowl for snow – so he could form snowballs in secret for firing at Jordan and Nathan. After supplying him with a bucket, I decided this may be a good photo op.  It is quite fun being a grandma.

 Note to his parents – he is throwing with his left arm.

 

 

At first Jordan looked puzzled by the flying snow, but he soon realized where it was coming from.

 

 

Nate also caught on, so I pointed out where Josh was standing.

 

 

Josh was safe as long as he stayed under the roof.

 

 

They created quite a fortress which surrounded the entire house.

 

 

While they were on the roof, I made a pot of venison noodle soup for lunch. Each time the boys came into the kitchen they commented on the wonderful smell. It turned out to be quite delicious.

 

 

This was the day Cerwin brought me a dozen roses for Valentine’s Day.

 

 

 

 

It appears that three more pair of shoes have been added to those lined up next to our fireplace. Who could it be?

 

 

You guessed correctly – it’s the little grandsons.

 

 

One of Ian’s favorite things to do is play Shopping Cart Hero – and he does quite well. In this photo he is showing me his awards.

 

 

The other two, Jared and Jesse played with trucks and watched a video.

They were only here a short time during the evening while their parents went out for dinner and shopping. The teenagers decided to stay another night.
