During the first week in February, Texas was slammed with a winter storm. We got record breaking temperatures, icy roads (we can't drive on due to lack of trucks to remove ice and limited trucks to distribute salt to melt the ice), crazy drivers on the roads without 4-wheel drive (high number of trucks and SUV's in Texas, but limited number with 4-wheel drive), and snow. Dane was off work for 4 days in early February and the schools in the area missed 5 days due to weather issues. Eme missed 4 days of preschool and we were getting a little stir crazy in our house. One of the days off for Dane was a snow day. We received 8-9 inches of snow and the kiddos went out with Dane to make a snow man, throw snowballs, and ride our sled (aka a garbage can lid with rope tied to it). I was a little better with snow equipment for the kiddos this time, but they didn't care and just got in the snow and had fun. Towards the end of their time outside in the snow, they started to slide down the hill on their tummies. They had a great time and look forward to our next snow!
