Snow days in Texas? Last week all the DFW area schools closed for 4 days...unheard of around here! After last years big snow, my girls are starting to think this is a normal occurrence. We enjoyed our days off...The first few days it was just icy outside...so we didn't spend much time outdoors... instead we spent our days in our jammies, hanging out by the fire, playing the Wii...Super Mario Brothers is very addicting!! Every night we had a family movie night. Andrew started thinking this was a new part of our bedtime routine. Sunday night when I was walking him up the stairs to go to bed he looked at me and said, " movie mama, popcorn! " He was disappointed that it was just regular ole bedtime. Our last snow day was Friday. We got so much snow...that day we spent lots of time outside! We even went sledding.
My precious babies!
Andrew was funny... he went right outside, layed down in the snow face first, stuck is face in the snow and got a big mouthful of snow!
Here we are getting ready to go sledding...luckily we had one small sled that we purchased back in 2003 on our ski trip to Park Cities...I had considered getting rid of it several times...it lived in our attic for years...finally it gets some use...our other "sled" was a lid from a plastic container...
Andrew and Cru flying down the hill...you could hear Andrew screaming "again, again" before he ever made it to the bottom!
We stayed at the park for at least 2 hours if not longer...then everyone was frozen like a Popsicle and it was time to go home and warm up. Us Texans don't exactly have all the right clothing for this type of weather. Our shoes were soaked! The funny thing is.. I have a ski jacket...I got it out for the first time since....2003, how do I know the year? Well, because my lift ticket from skiing was still attached to the zipper!
