The school charity skating competition seems like the perfect way to raise the money they need the only problem is that Nikki can't skate.Will she be able to transform from dork-on-ice to ice princess in time to save the day
I was really surprised when I got up this morning and looked out the window. We had a really big snowstorm late last night and got, like, fifteen centimetres of snow.
My dad usually hates big snows. But today hw was super excited to go outside to clear the driveway.
Earlier in the year he brought this rusty old snowblower at a garage sale.
Dad is always buying dangerous pieces of junk from garage sale. I'll never forget the time he took us out on the lake in an old canoe with no paddles. If we hadn't been rescued by the coast guard helicopter, we would have probably drowned.
Dad insisted that he got a real bargain because a brand new snowblower costs around $300 and he paid only $20 for his.
Well, now we all know why his snowblower was so cheap. The snow- chute thingy was rusted and permanently stuck in one position...

DAD, TRYING TO CLEAR OUR DRIVEWAY WITH HIS BROKEN SNOWBLOWER.
That busted snowblower kept blowing snow right back on to the area Dad had just cleared. He couldn't figure out what he was doing wrong.
Poor Dad was out trying to clear the driveway for three hours. Mom had to go out there and drag him back into the house before his body parts froze solid.
I actually felt sorry for him. And mom did too, because she went online and ordered Dad a brand new snowblower.
The bad news is that the driveway still needs to be dug out.
I explained to mom I was willing to make a huge personal sacrifice and stay home from school for the next week or two until the new snowblower arrives.
But she just handed me a snow shovel and told me if I started shoveling right now, I'd have the driveway cleared out so I could go to school tomorrow morning.
Mom obviously had no appreciation for the tremendous sacrifice I was willing to make. ☹️!!
