Texas Snowstorm

Yep, we actually got 12 inches of snow last Wednesday and Thursday. In ten years we've never gotten that much snow -- like all together I don't think we have. I'm not going to look it up. I'm just guessing.



Kellen was sure the snowman needed ears and arms. Liam kept going up and knocking them off. I don't think Kellen minded putting them back on, though.

When the kids got home from school, they had to go out in it too. Yes, even the big ones. There was no school on Friday due to the snow.


Morgan was trying to make snowmen like Calvin from "Calvin and Hobbes." She was surprised how hard it was.


Looking down our street.


My angel making a snow angel.


Of course, we don't have any sleds. We tried cardboard, but the snow was so wet that it disintegrated too quickly. We saw people in laundry baskets, but the corners kept getting stuck. Like a flash it came to me to use the pool toys to go tubing. Perfect!






Oh, we had ourselves a blast, but I think the kids were glad it only lasted two days. They were tired of it by then, I'm sure.

It's good, they need to experience the fun of snow. Great idea with the pool toys!

WOW! That is unbelievable. Yah, I even get tired of it in Snowflake where it doesn't snow very often.
