Keeping Up with the Gerges': Cozy blizzard weekend!

We're going on 48 hours in our house, essentially trapped because the storm dumped so much snow in our area! The snow is beautiful, fluffy and there sure is a lot of it. Our little town just can't keep up with the plowing and restoring roads. The last time a plow came up/down our street was about 5pm on Friday night. Now, our front yards seem to link together as you look across at one big blanket of snow! Originally, I thought we got about 22 or 24 inches, although it seemed like a lot more. I think the official count was more like 30 or 32 inches. The Fairfield Police Department announced yesterday that there are 380 cul de sacs in town and they dont expect to get to those until Monday. We're not necessarily on a cul de sac, but side roads like ours aren't top on their list. We're hoping we may see a plow today, but the reality is, we may not be able to get to work tomorrow either!

Hey, I am not complaining :) I love a reason to stay in and hang with my hubby, little girl and doggie. We've had so much fun, playing, listening to music, watching Barney (and my fav - Law & Order SVU) and baking, all in our sweats! I think the one that's the most restless is Quigley. Usually by Sunday he's a ball full of energy and he spends Sunday afternoons running in circles with his cousin Sophie. He probably wont have the chance to do that today, just more playing solo in the snow in our yard.

I was supposed to be in NYC today at the Javits Center for the Toy Fair. In the toy business, it's like the World Series and Melissa & Doug goes all out. The whole company attends, to lend a hand in the biggest booth at the event. I was looking forward to seeing the whole operation, meeting the customers I chat with on the phone, and helping out. I woke up at 1am, 3am and again at 5am to look outside and see a clean road. Unfortunately, I had to call my boss and tell her I couldn't make it. It's like I'm literally trapped. Unless you see our street/neighborhood, it's probably hard to imagine, but we are really stuck!

I've snapped some pictures during the last few days and wanted to share them. Hope you are having a great weekend!!
