Snow Days!

Wow! Who knew Texas could have 12 inches of snow?! The kids really enjoyed playing in it. I was so glad that we had ski clothes that they could fit into from last year. I wasn't so happy about having to put it all on though. Especially on Caleb. He doesn't sit still so it takes twice as long to get him dressed just to be outside for a few minutes then he wants to go in. Then after you get all the wet, snowy clothes off he wants to go back outside. Ugh! I'm glad I don't live in the north!

This was from the first day. I was inside sleeping because I worked the night before so they played outside with Daddy. What a good guy to get them dressed in all of their garb all by himself!

Ethan making a snow angel...his turned out a little better than Caleb's. :-)

The front of our house.

Ethan's snowman on day #1.

Our snowman on day #2. See the Spiderman hat?

Our neighbor helped Mondo and I lift the snowman pieces then he took a family pic for us.

The side of our yard.

Our neighbor's yard across the corner. You couldn't even see her house or drive down the street. Crazy!

Big branch off the tree in our backyard. Of course it doesn't compare to the rest of our neighbors branches and giant uprooted trees. We were very lucky. My parents lost power for 2 days. I'm SHOCKED that we didn't since ours seems to go out when the wind blows.

Caleb playing on Tyler's swingset.

Jeffrey and I took Ethan, Tyler, and Caleb tubing down a hill in our neighborhood. They had a blast! Jeffrey and I were exhausted!

He doesn't look like he was having fun but he was!

Mondo made this giant snowball in the backyard.

Caleb thinks he's just as big as Ethan. :-)

This is the same snowball...a WEEK later! (Note Ethan standing on it in flip flops!)

We let Ethan destroy it.

Ethan tubing. And no, he didn't land in the water every time.

Caleb tubing. We got better each time so he got to go faster, just didn't get a video of it.
