Snow, Snow and then more Snow

I'm not sure if you guys know or not but our area with hit with a snow storm that is quite unusual. In the 15 years or so of living in this area I've never seen so much snow. We have about a foot or so. Well the first day it snowed I went outside to take pictures. I did not plan on being out long so I popped on my crocs and headed out. No skidding or sliding so I thought I was safe. What I did not think about was the ice under the snow. On my way back to the house I slid on some ice and fell on top of my ankle. It was the most excruciating pain I have ever felt. Then I had to walk back to the house. Hurting myself was nothing compared to having to go up stairs. I almost passed out from the pain. I eventually went to the ER the next day. (my dad helped me with the boys all day while Tim was at work and was unable to leave) I sprained my ankle good, no fractures or breaks. However I have not had too much time to just sit back and be pampered you see; when it snows like this the security for the hospital (where Tim works) becomes transport for the hospital. They have to go and pick up people for work that can not drive in and occasionally take a patient home. So I've lost him to the snow. In the meantime it sucks having a sprained ankle. But I can put some weight on it now without screaming. I took some pictures of the boys in the snow. I hope you guys are having a better Christmas break than I am!
