Mom was wrong...

So when we got the 4 inches of snow on Tuesday, I told Austin, "You have better enjoy this because I think this is all we are going to get this year." And two days later I am proved wrong!! I grew up in the Dallas area and I can't remember a time when we got an accumulation of snow twice in the same week! Today is started to sleet/snow around 12:45 and by 6:30 we had 5 inches of snow on the ground!! The girls were at WEE school today and I normally pick them up at 2:30. WEE school called today at 1:30 for an early dismissal and the elementary school let out an hour early. For Austin and the girls that meant play time!! We immediately came home and got all bundled up to go outside and enjoy the winter weather once again! The girls didn't want to stay out long. Austin however stayed outside for about an hour. I had him come in for a bit and warm up then he went back outside for 2 hours! I had him put on 2 pairs of pants, 2 pairs of socks, rainboots, 2 jackets, earmuffs, a hat and gloves. He was warm and toasty! Alyssa Davis, Tyler DeLuna & Austin worked together to make a snowman. The girls took out umbrellas to keep the snow from falling on them. The snow was absolutely beautiful. HUGE snowflakes fell on the ground. The scene outside during the snowfall looked like something you would see in Colorado! I am so glad that the kids got to enjoy another day of snowball fights, snowmen and cold feet!Austin and Russell building a snowman together.
Have you ever scene such a big snowfort? I was pretty impressed!
Austin and our neighbor Josh built it. Griff & Kerrigan Servati came by asked if Austin wanted to go sledding. Autumn & Savannah Hood also went with them. They went to Joyce Godwin's house and had a blast sledding down her hill! Austin came home at 6:30 cold with red cheeks and insisted he was fine and wanted to stay outside. I convinced him to come inside, take off his wet clothes and soak his feet in some warm water. We had dinner and by 9:00 he was asleep on the couch. He had a big day!Austin and Kerrigan Servati sledding.Austin & Autumn Hood sledding.
