Since we live in Texas, snow is a pretty rare occurance! So you can only imagine our excitement when we woke up to get the kids ready for school on Thursday February 11th and the snow had already accumulated around 2 inches on everything! Then being the cool parents we are, we let Zachary and Zane stay home from school even though most of the schools were still in session. It snowed all day...and not just slow, little flakes....we are talking lots of big flakes! In fact, it snowed for 24+ hours with a final cumulation of approximately 11-12 inches! Of course, this for sure caused the schools to close on Friday, February 12th! We had so much fun with all the snow....both days we spent at least 4 hours at a time outside playing! We built a small snowman in our front yard on Thursday, but by Friday us and our neighbors built a 6 foot tall snowman in the road! We made snow angels, snow cream and a snow fort in the backyard. We had the most awesome snowball fight EVER!!! The boys even got to play in the snow a little while on Saturday but it was windy and much colder so they didn't stay out as long as the previous days. The snow hung around for about 4 days. It is one snow storm we won't forget!!
