Oooh Brrr...It's cold in North Texas

We had a cub scout meeting tonight and had a wonderful Police Lieutenant speak to the scouts and then we all did shoe print castings.  It was fun and messy and in the middle of doing that  we all started hearing something funny sounding... we don't hear it often in our neck of the woods... it's was ice falling from the sky!  

The high today was 35 and tonight it's sleeting and a
 low of 20 degrees tonight... so tomorrow morning we will all be slipping and sliding to school!

I know - you don't check the blog for weather reports... but it's cold! One day ago it was 70 ~ tonight it's 20 - Thursday it's supposed to be in the 70's again!    :)  The boys loved having the officer here and I hope the castings come out OK.  I'm afraid the castings are not setting up like they should b/c of the cold...  Every boys shoe molding cracked as the parents picked them up.  #1 We didn't get to let them   set up as long as they should have b/c the  weather hit and everyone got nervous and wanted to end the meeting so people could get home safely. #2   it's just too cold for it to set up...   arg.  I want to do a good job as an Assistant Den Mom but these things seldom seem to go as planned.

The boys are having a good time though, doing and learning a lot.  I look forward to our next camping trip in the Spring.  There will be horseback riding and more fishing.  We go through the police department later this month. That will be fun.  

As soon as I have pictures I'll upload them  - my friend sent her camera with her hubby !  

I do have a nice picture or two of Rachel's little make up  piano recital... her teacher was nice to wait.  The  original date - Rachel ended up with a stomach bug, then the make up date the grandparents had the stomach bug... so 3  weeks later she was able to play several songs for us!
