Last Wednesday we were hit with ice - it happens a couple of times each Winter.
We don't receive a lot of snow - very little as a matter of fact, but ice... we receive a couple of times a winter.
The ice shuts down the school systems and everyone ransacks the grocery stores - it's funny - typically all the ice is gone the next day but doesn't negate the children's excitement of missing school. :) The back yard - it looks like it's just light dusting of snow.. don't be fooled -the back yard was solid ice - and I stepped out there and twisted back trying to not fall down down. The dogs were hilarious - everywhere they stepped it was crunchy and they walked around like they were on egg shells - it was really funny to watch them.
Last Thursday - it was really funny - the temperatures were up - but the fog
was so thick I could only see three mailboxes down the street - and only to the back fence - in the back yard. It was so eerie outside but by noon all fog was gone....
Then Friday it was sunny and warm again... ah.. Texas weather.
Patrick and his daddy purchased some in-line skates and have been working on it - they don't go very far but are getting a work out. Rachel tried so hard but she just kept falling down and after about the 4th very big fall her daddy sent her in - she had reached her limit and just couldn't stop crying. She worked at it for almost 40 minutes ~ I'm so glad she was wearing her safety gear! :) Made me sad to see all those tears. But she's growing up and I was proud that she tried so hard to keep up with her brother and her daddy. She does have gumption.
This coming Sunday is National Scout Day Sunday. Has anyone heard of this before? Not me - but Patrick will be wearing his uniform this Sunday to church.
We had a wonderful time Sunday night at some new friend's home for the Superbowl. It's our new PCA church that is being organized and it was a fun way to get to know some 'new family'.
