SNOW Is Not A Dirty Word

Last year around this time we had snow, real fluffy white snow. A foot, which to most is nothing especially if compared with the rest of the country, however here in Texas any snow is exciting. I was so disappointed because last year DH was overseas and missed everything. I thought for sure it would not happen 2 years in a row. I would say YAY I was wrong, but not only did we get snow we also got ice, 4 days of no school for the kids and high temps in the low teens. Coldest weather we have had here in 15 years.

It started snowing at midnight, I happen to love snow so I drug DH outside to play. He says because he's a Yankee his blood is made of ice so he doesn't need things like shoes and a coat like us southern people. I'll just laugh when he gets a cold =)


The girls went out and played but it was really to bitter and windy to stay out for more than a few minutes. Of course what do you do when there’s 2 inches of ice out, jump on a trampoline.


Ruggles liked the snow but he did not like all the layers of clothes he had to wear. It made him off balance and he kept falling and getting wet.
I decided to paint the kitchen cabinets which I have to say turned out very well, I also had to run a heater under the kitchen sink. Even doing that it still froze, but it kept the pipes from bursting in the end.
