Texas weather forecasters just can't seem to get it right! On Wednesday they suggested we'd get 1-2" of snow, mostly on the grassy areas! Wow...were they wrong! Our snowfall began at 3am on Thursday morning and the day went on as usual. But as the morning went on it was clear the snow wasn't stopping. As a matter of fact, our house lost power at 10am on Thursday morning! I left work early and went to pick up all 3 boys then proceeded to pull out our ski gear to have some unexpected winter fun! We didn't have any sleds but I did have a laundry basket which sorta worked (for Luke anyway). We headed up to the park with the neighbor boys and they had a great time! We went back to warm up in our house (which was getting colder by the hour) and then out to dinner at CiCi's Pizza. However, when we returned still no power! So, we bundled up the boys in their warmest winter pj's and crawled into our bed...all 4 of us! (Dane slept in his own bed with 2 blankets!) We were quite toasty but no one was able to move all night long! My babysitter Jennifer calls that "coffin sleeping" and she was spot on! We woke up and to our surprise, no electricity! That was all I could stand. We packed up a few things and headed to Aunt Lizzie's house to first get warm and then play in the snow. What a fun memory for the boys! Thankfully, we were able to go home to a warm house later that afternoon! After all of the snow had fallen we ended up with a record setting 12.5" of snow!

A picture looking down our street. It really looks like a winter wonderland doesn't it?
By Saturday afternoon the snow was melting fast so Drew and Nolan went out to quickly build their version of "Baseball Frosty". This picture makes me laugh as Drew and Nolan are bundled up and Dane is barefoot without a hat on! But I promise, it was very mild outside and we were only out for a few moments. I really am a good mother!
Nolan and his snowman. A dream come true!
