So Much Ice and a Bit of Snow!

February 1st was the start of our crazy winter storm here in Texas.  For the past few years it seems like we get one day of snow sometime around February or March.  When our storm was predicted this year, I figured it would be much of the same.  We would get to have Linc all decked out for one day of fun in the snow.  Surprise, this year we had 4 days of it!  For Texas, that is a huge deal. 

Lucky or unlucky (haha) for me, we were told to work at home the whole week because they didn't want us downtown where all the Superbowl action was.  It was lucky because I didn't have to try and get to the office each day since I was suppose to just work from home anyways.  It was unlucky because my office was closed 3 of the 4 days and if I would not have agreed to work at home, I could have played for the 3 days with my kids instead of work.  Oh well, it worked out fine. 

Lincoln does not have any boots, so the first day we went out we had to put grocery bags around his shoes so his feet wouldn't get wet, haha!  Good idea Craig on the homemade snow boots.

He is such a trendsetter, I bet these will be on the selves next winter, Albertson's logo and all!

Daddy had a good time too, here he is balancing on the basketball.

Us girls stayed warm in the house most of the week, it is better inside at this age.

Those boys are crazy, right Kennedy!

Day two of snowmagedon was a little more relaxed, just hanging on the floor with the toys.

We all started to get cabin fever by day three!  I don't think my child has ever watched some many movies and episodes of Caillou and Wonder Pets.  I did try to sneak in some learning here and there, but that is hard to do when I was trying to work too.  The snow was so pretty!

Daddy trekked into work a few days and we had to wait on him to go play.  Here Lincoln is after a fresh dusting wanting to go play.

Day 4 brought more snow in the morning, but a thaw down at the end of the day.  This was also Friday and I didn't have to work so I could just enjoy the day.  We finally decided to all bundle up and head out to play.

Kennedy in her bunting.  Never thought she would have to wear it.  I had to add a little flower to her hat to make it a bit more girly.

He is just having a blast! (can you find our tiny snowman?)

Man daddy is tall!

Me and my babe!  She is not to sure about this cold!

Momma is not as tall, haha!

Friday night we all had enough of being in the house alone, so the Brawley's came over for some burritos and fun.  It was nice to talk to other people since we had been cooped up in the house all week.  Here are Kennedy and Calvin looking surprised at something, so cute.

Snow is pretty, but I am not sure I could be around it for very long now.  I do love to ski, but we don't get that type of snow.  Most of the week was just ice which is not fun to drive in, with a little snow at the end.  I will say it was pretty and I can tell Kennedy that she saw her first snow when she was just 5 months old!  Lincoln beat her though, he saw his at 4 days old.  Crazy Texas Weather!
