Texas Blizzard?! schools close?!!

Yea!! School is closed!!
for FOUR days!!!
Maddie and her two friends, Brooklyn and Addy, were going crazy on the trampoline and took about 100 photos (not exaggerating!) and spent hours outside, night and day, in temps of 10 degrees and lower with the wind chill. Those temps are UNUSUAL for North Texas.


Nick spent the coldest days with friends building snow forts, making snow jumps (for sleds...who has a sled in TX?? we use cookie sheets which aren't that great; anyone with an extra sled or two, we'll pay shipping if you'll send them our way--each year we have one big snow storm and can't even buy sleds, it seems...)
Then he came back when it warmed up slightly and was out without a coat; this kid wears shorts almost all year long and when it's 45 degrees, says, "Moooom, it's NOT cold outside!"


Maddie and familyh friends, Smith kids, were over...it's looking bad for this red riding hood!
Loving the snow for sure!! We don't get it enough to bother us...
I might mention the weekend before this it was 80 degrees, no joke.
and the week after this ice/snow storm/near 0 degree temps, it came right back up to the 70s!
ahhh, Texas winters.

Snowy Days in DFW

We woke up to this!!
Everybody was super excited!
School was closed for TWO whole days!
Miracle of Texas Miracles



I've never seen so many snowmen!
I drove around this morning just to see the joy on all the kids' faces
and to see all the snowmen.
Many cowboys, with neckerchiefs and cowboy hats.
Gotta love the Texas spirit!
and we got an offer on our house the weekend of February 14th!!!! Let the LOVE flow!!
The house we want is still available and we are moving there at the end of March!!!
Life is Gooooood.
We are beyond happy.
Our prayers have been answered!
