Two Little Men: Record snowfall!

Record snowfall!

The week of Feb 7th, they started telling us early in the week that we would have snow on the night of Thursday the 11th. They were predicting 2" overnight and into Friday morning.

We awoke Thursday MORNING to 2" of snow, and it just kept on coming. Leo went to school on Thursday, but Henry's preschool was cancelled. It snowed all.day.long. I don't think I've ever seen a day when it snowed from the time I got up until the time I went to bed. We ended up with 12.5" of snow! In Texas! Wild. Leo's school and most everything else around here was cancelled on Friday. Many people (including Miss Allie and family) were without power for Friday or even into the weekend, but we were really lucky and never even had a flicker. There was lots of road damage (new potholes) and tree damage from the heavy snow.

The boys had a great time. We played outside and made snow ice cream. When I saw what was happening on Thursday, I ran to Blockbuster for kid movies, so they enjoyed watching those. Even though Todd could probably have made it to work by 10am on Friday, he stayed home to help me with the boys.

These are from Thursday:
