Snow 2011

What a fun way to start the year- a snow day! I used to get cabin fever REALLY easy, and although I still tend to like to be on the go, I am noticing that my attitude about staying in and around the house is changing, probably because the days go a little slower at home.  Life is so busy, and what I love about Snow Days is the complete halt of scheduled activities for a day or two.

This boy does not like to be held still for a picture.

Although we've had real snow(not the ice we got about once a year growing up) for two years in a row now, it is definitley a novelty around here. And, since it really is a special treat here in Texas to get anything more than a dusting, the fun really comes out when we get to play in snow.

All five of my "kids" - three boys + two dogs



All of our unique personalities really come out when it snows... the boys, of course, pretty much just want to pummel each other with snow balls.  Bryce does a full wind-up pitch with a packed snowball, but no one seems to mind! 

Jayden seemed to enjoy tasting the snow more than anything, but his mischevious nature couldn't resist a snowball fight with his brothers, and he threw several at me, too!

Rylan's face in all the snow pictures wears a big, toothy smile.  He is such a happy boy, and is never happier than when playing with his big brothers.
