A Snowy Day

We finally received some snow in February! This winter has been super cold; especially after last year's very mild winter. I've always thought I'd prefer to live somewhere colder, but after this year I'll take the Texas heat thank you (yeah, I know I'll be singing a different tune come July).

Kaylee was home sick the day it snowed. It's amazing what a few snowflakes can do for a little girl's health.





Ainsley went to school like the good student she is (I know, I should have let her stay home to play, but she'd just missed school a few days earlier due to an illness). Fortunately there was still enough snow for a snack, a couple of small snowmen, and a snowball fight with our neighbor after school.





It was definitely cold enough for some hot chocolate after the snow play. We're so unprepared for cold weather. My kids all started getting frost bitten hands because all they had for hand protection were cheap knit gloves, but despite a few tears shed over cold hands we all enjoyed our snowy day.
