Snow 2011


This past week we had crazy weather. It was 75 on Sunday, where I enjoyed my first farmer's tan of the season and a smattering of freckles across my face.  By Tuesday, it was in the 20's with a wind chill in the single digits.  We didn't leave the house.  And as I heard that all of my DFW friends on Facebook were enjoying "Ice days" at home, Bubba and I enjoyed a few "non-snow-snow-days" at home ourselves.  We played with trains endlessly, drank lots of coffee, read books, and didn't step one foot outside.  

But on Friday, we finally got a small taste of the "snowmagaddon" the rest of the country was enduring. So, we only got 3/4 of an inch ~ someone referred to it as a powdered-donut ~ it was enough to shut down life as we know it here in Central Texas and this family enjoyed a REAL snow day!!

 these kids were up early to see the "snow" that had fallen the night before
 and there it is - our "winter wonderland"
 doing the "no school dance" at 7 am

 out we went in our pjs and coats to play!

 bubba didn't know what to think of it - a true Texas boy
 these kids had big plans
 ~ snowball fights ~ 
~ snowmen ~ 
~ sledding~
~ snow forts ~

not so much....
 playing in the back yard will have to do!

 except this poor bubba boy HATED it!!

Good thing we live in Texas, where weather like this only comes around once every couple of years!!

         2 Days.  That's it.  We went from sunny 75 degrees to blustery snowy 30s in 2 days.  Sunday to Tuesday.  And that my friends, is typical Texas weather.  
         We had an incredible Sunday- all of us were in shorts and t-shirts.  We spent the day outdoors - the baby loved the sun.  

We took a bike ride- all 5 of us - with the baby around the neighborhood trails.  
He loved it so much, he promptly fell asleep.




We also spent some time at the local park- just soaking it all in.







Cause we knew- we knew that the "big, bad, storm" was coming.  
Did we believe it? 
Nah. Our weathermen never seem to get it right.  
Only this time they did:




We had the biggest, fluffiest, cotton-ball-like snowflakes falling all day.
This is the bus stop at 3pm- the kids were so excited to get off the bus!



Poor little Bubba Boy didn't know what to think about all of it though.

But the kids knew exactly what to do:









Don't you just love our shout-out to Illinois weather?

The sun & snow gave us similar reactions.....
