There are snowmen in Southeast Texas!

After taking the girls to school this morning, I drove around the neighborhood and found some friends! Of course these are the friends that you will not find me hugging or hanging out with! Too DAMN cold! The pictures just do not do it justice. In the sun the snow is as Sophia would love to say "sparkly". It is beautiful! . I know all my family in the far north are probably giggling at my excitement over "light ground cover" however, this is as good as we will ever get it!! So on to the pictures of my snowbound journey this morning! If Camberra , Triny and Addie are reading this know that my girls miss you bunches and wishing you were here to 4 wheel with us! (bringing the 4 wheelers of course). I am sure by the time the girls are out of school it will have all melted away the sun is out in full blast. Tonight we are going to look at Christmas lights in a seriously cool neighborhood were everyone competes for the best house and yard! I will post a slide show later~

Texas Snow

DISCLAIMER: Texas definition of snow: Cold, wet, flurries, sleet, basically our rainy day at 31 degrees~! For my non Texas readers this is it in over 9 years!! The last time we saw any "snow flurries" was about 4 years ago and it did NOT stick to the ground! So as I am surely cursing the nasty weather all day long, I thought to myself heck if it gets any colder (at the time it was 38 degrees) it can possibly make sleet hince snow flurries. At about 6pm today it started to sleet and as we were ALL excited saying it's snowing outside! - then the sleet got thicker and bigger and big fat snow flakes started to fall. Our neighbors in the culdesac came out and the kids had fun tromping in the snow! Our pants and feet were all soaking wet. Of course the snow gear I had from 2 years would have worked (if I didn't just donate it 2 months ago!) Now it is late in the night and my girls are snuggled in bed, I am in front of a blazing fire enjoying the peace and quiet..Oh and our family might ask were is Matt in all this....THE NETHERLANDS - for work.. Lucky him! Enjoy the slide show
