A Blizzard: Texas style!!!

On Thursday we got a foot of snow, yes an actual foot of snow..... in Texas. It snowed for 24 hours straight! This was our 4th snowstorm this winter which is pretty much unheard of here. Of course in true Dallas style the entire city shut down, which meant no school for Jason. So we bundled up and headed across the street to meet friends at our neighborhood park, which has a hill. We attempted sledding in a laundry basket which was pretty unsuccessful. It turns out I do NOT have snowbabies. They cried almost the entire time about being cold. Unfortunately, we don't have all the snow gear that would have made them less cold. Cotton gloves just aren't good for snowball fights! Never the less it was beautiful and definilty a once in a lifetime experience to see so much snow in our backyard! They said the last time it snowed even close to that much here was 1978, I wasn't even born!

Jason about to pelt me with a snowball!

The view out my front porch, beautiful isn't it!?

Laundry basket sledding!

Like Brother, Like Sister....

Madison got her first computer just like Jason did at 2. I'm completely amazed at how quickly they learn how to move and click the mouse! Of course, even though they both have their own computer, they still fight over each others..... go figure! Excuse Madi's crazy hair, they had just woke up!
