Update: 5th Snowiest

Minneapolis got a few more inches of snow last week for a total of 84 inches for this winter. That moved 2011 into the 5th place for snowiest winter.

6th Snowiest Winter EVER

With 80+ inches of snowfall this winter, the winter of 2011 will go down in history as the 6th snowiest year EVER (as long as it doesn't snow anymore). And it's only March, which is the snowiest month.
So, this was a good year to learn to love the snow. We didn't really have a choice, but luckily the kids caught on quickly and have LOVED playing in the snow all winter.
Each time it snowed we plowed the snow from the driveway into the back yard, creating a kids dream come true--Mt. Walton-- the best playground for hiking, sledding and playing with dump trucks.
At it's peak, after our 80th inch of snow fell yesterday, Mt.Walton reach a height of 9 feet and the entire length of our backyard, around 35ft.
It's been a lot of fun. With Spring just around the corner I wanted to document Mt.Walton before it's gone. Though, I bet it'll take till June to melt this mountain!

Diapers Be Gone!

We made it! No more diapers in the Walton house... ever again!

Sticker charts, M&Ms and potty prizes finally got the job done. Cal has been diaper free for a couple weeks. He filled up his "Potty Chart" to get a "Potty Prize" today and we'll celebrated tonight with cupcakes! (1 sticker for each accident free day)


Here is Cal enjoying holding his new "James" train he got for his potty prize. By the way, I love these new Target carts. I actually drive out of my way to this particular Target because these carts are perfect for kids this age. Shopping carts can make all the difference when you're shopping with twins.
