Snow day take 2...

I have to say, I was just looking forward to a late start on Friday.  If we miss school, we have to make it up at some point.  Just for safe keeping, I turned on my cell phone to ring before I went to bed Thursday night...well, it rang at 5:30 a.m. and the recorded message said no school....WHAT??  The radar on the weather the night before said they would get the snow further down south...My feelings aren't very hurt, I could handle sleeping in today.

Alex got up to go to work later and made me get out of bed to see the snow.  I about fell out!  When it snowed back in January, it didn't stick to the driveway and roads all that bad because it hadn't been that cold.  Well, this snow was about 4-5 inches deep and still falling...my car was covered and it was all the way to the door of our house.  This is some strange weather we are having here in Texas.  We got snow last year, and now we have gotten it twice.  It's beautiful snow, and it allows us to get out and play in it. 


up to his knees deep!



she just thought she wanted to stay out in it




 We didn't stay outside long.  It was cold and really not all that fun.  The snow was so soft and wet, you couldn't even make a snowball!  So, it was pretty while it lasted and we got to sleep in, but spring can't get here soon enough.  Supposedly, Punxatauney Phil did not see his shadow, so spring will be here sooner than later...although, the forecast for next week is calling for more snow!  ugh!

I am ready for flip flop weather and a nice warm breeze.  Notice I said warm, and not hot...the summer is not my friend either.  I don't like to sweat unless I am working out...and since we have had such a cold winter, I am guessing this summer is not going to be any better!!  So, my wish is that spring will last a long time!!!

I love the pics of the snow! Your kids are adorable. We finally had a snow day here in Michigan, but it takes quite a bit. I agree with you on being ready for Spring!
