Snow day...take 2(for real this time!)

Do I live in Texas? I thought I did but then days like this make me wonder! I knew bad weather was predicted but you know....life goes on. So I was out and about running errands for the trip to China and I came out of Target and it was starting to snow again. Quite a bit of slush on the ground so I think to myself "self, you need to get home toot suite"(my sister loves it when I say that). By the time I get back to where I live the snow is almost blinding. And it is accumulating fast on my windshield. And the traffic!! So smartie pants Amy decides to get off the highway and take the back road around my neighborhood to get to my house. Not smart. There are lots of hills back there and I almost didn't make it up one. Right about then my sister, Sara, calls me and tells me that she heard they are closing the schools in our district. That we needed to go pick up our kids. So that is what I did. Right at the same time as every other parent. It was a lovely time. By the time I parked, walked up to the school, got the kids back in the car and home I was soaked! But the fluffy white stuff was calling my kids names so we bundled back up and headed out for some snowball fighting, snowman making fun! We're in now and I think its supposed to keep snowing over night. We've already gotten 6 inches maybe more since around noon. I'm pretty sure we won't have school tomorrow but you won't be hearing me tell my kids that just quite yet. The craziness that happens....you know what I mean! But then just like Texas it should be back up in the 70's by next week.

Trying to pose for a picture. The snow was slapping them in the face because it was coming in sideways.

Snowball fight!! This ended in tears because *someone* hit *somebody* in the face.

Mr. Snowman-we made him all from "nature". His mouth and nose were berries and his eyes were leaves. Oh, Natalie took her hat off and gave it to him. She was freezing...
