Snow Days

Wow! We have had so much snow this winter!  Last week, school was called off two days and we had a late day. Another round at the end of the week caused early dismissal!  It didn't end there!  We had another four inches of snow last night following some sleet.  We are home again today!  This morning we built a Rapunzel Snowman.
She turned out a lot better than our snow blob last week.
 

 Today's snow was perfect for playing and building.  Caroline was very focused on her snowballs.


 

 






 We had some glove drama at one point.
 Snow Angels



Our neighbor popped up over the fence to say Hello.  The girls get excited every time she appears.
 The pics below are from the first day of snow last week.  We got excited and headed out while the snow was still really coming down and didn't last 15 minutes.
 The snow was pretty, but did not stick well.

 After we were out there for a few minutes, Caroline just plopped down and started making a snow angel.  She got the idea from Little House on the Prairie.


Abby couldn't decide if she wanted to make a snow angel, but gave in and made one as fast as she could.




 Caroline also wanted to throw snowballs.

 After we got our little munchkin built, we called it a day and hurried inside for some heat. 

All of these days inside meant time for lots of games.
 

 The streets improved enough last Saturday for Abby's school to hold their fundraiser at the Southlake Hilton.  Brent and I enjoyed getting out while Nonnie, Pops and Little Bubba had movie night with Abby and Caroline. We've enjoyed the excitement of these winter storms, but we are very ready for spring weather!  Bring on the sunshine! This crew is ready to swim!

Happy Birthday, GiGi and PawPaw!

Last weekend, we headed to Spring for our annual February birthday celebration trip.  Caroline was so happy we had the class penguin for the weekend.
We introduced him to Buc-ee on the way.
We checked Abby out of school early and arrived by dinner time.  We tried a fun new Mexican restaurant.  The neon sign didn't show up very good in this pic, but it looks like the Las Vegas sign.  When we drove up, Caroline yelled, "Look! We are eating at Vegas!" 
 It had a big playground the girls enjoyed.
 
Abby and Caroline exchanged Valentine gifts with Carter Saturday morning when he arrived.


GiGi had Twister.
"Look, Tacky, a gecko and  . . .
 . . .ducks!"
Caroline was dying to catch a fish for her penguin to eat.  PawPaw found some good worms in the flowerbeds and we were off to fish.



 




Thankfully, they caught one!  In fact, they caught quite a few.
Entertainment Time for Grayson








Time for a Birthday Party


The cousins were wiped out after playing outside most of the day.  They were sweet watching a cartoon together before bed.
