The week that Texas went crazy

This week has been unbelievable! I had never seen much snow in Texas until last February and until this week I have never seen such consistently low temperatures! And MORE SNOW! Brian really didn't expect to get a day off this week, even though there was talk about bad weather. He was really surprised by all the ice on Tuesday morning - and the day off work! And then the very low temps (12 degrees, wind chill of -3) continued and he got Wednesday off...and then Thursday....and then it snowed and we got one last unexpected family day on Friday! It's been wonderful to have so much extra time together this week. We've watched movies, played games, had lots of hot chocolate and popcorn and a couple special breakfasts - heart shaped muffins and homemade donuts! We also had alot of fun playing in the snow today! (And probably tomorrow, too... :D) I just love global warming, don't you?? ;)

Yummy donuts!

Ready for the snow!
6.5, almost 7 inches! Crazy!

Melissa thinks the icicles are popsicles....
I don't know what Kyler's is - a sword maybe? He used it later to draw a picture in the snow so maybe it's a pen? :)


Love my family!
Snow ice cream!


And hot cocoa to keep us warm!
We've had such a fun week and it will be hard to get back to our normal schedule next week. But it will be good financially, since I lost 3 paid days of work this week. Not that I'd give up my family time if I could change this week! :)

In other news, I've been feeling alot better. Not as nauseous in the mornings and I'm more able to eat. Although meat is still not appealing to me on pretty much any level. Bleh. But I'm sure that as my appetite picks up I'll quickly regain the 5 lbs I lost in the first month...plus many more! I'm so ready to start feeling little kicks and cartwheels - and I so much want to know what gender this baby is! I'll be 11 weeks tomorrow so about 9 more weeks before I can have that sonogram!

Okay, it's late and I've gotta get these kiddos to bed. Thanks for reading!
