They are being very good boys and girls by shoveling the sidewalks and driveways. I knew there was a reason for having kids. The return on the investments is being returned today!

I don't think they have the energy to do anymore shoveling today. They did several of the neighborhood's elderly as well as mine. I think they did their good turns for the day. Maybe next snowfall.
