February Snow Days

As you've probably heard, there is some crazy weather going on and Texas is not the exception. It all started early in the morning on Tuesday, and we've been home bound ever since. All of the schools have been closed the past two days, and I'm doubtful if they are open tomorrow. What started with freezing rain, turned into sleet, which turned into a little bit of snow. The roads were terrible yesterday, but it seems as though they are better today. The problem is that it is brutally cold outside and the temperature isn't rising above freezing, which means all the ice is still hanging around. The forecasters are saying that we won't get above freezing until Friday, which means we may have two more days at home--Hooray! I LOVE snow days! Even more now, because they mean that I get to spend more time with Will. To make it even better, Matt didn't have to go to work yesterday! CRAZY! In the 5+ years we have been married, he has never had a snow day. When I say never, I mean NEVER. He always has to go--like the postal service--rain, sleet, snow or ice. But yesterday was monumental--he stayed home!! It was wonderful. I love family days. We didn't go outside because it's just too cold/ice isn't fun to play in/I don't want Will to get another ear infection. So this is what we've been up to on our days off...
Jamming on the piano

Pulling up on anything & everything

"Singing" along
Crawling everywhere

Playing basketball
Cooking
Eating yummy homemade pizza

(Somebody likes rice and beans these days)

Snuggling (Please ignore the lack of makeup--we were in our comfy clothes all day)

And last but not least, hanging out with Lucy by the fire. :)
It has been a relaxing past two days. Depending on the roads, we may or may not make a trip to Ikea tomorrow (we're baby proofing the house). I've also made great progress on Will's baby book, so here's to hoping that I don't have work on Friday and can enjoy some more family time at home!

  1. MK - Wish I was enjoying the cold weather as much as you...I'm really just trying to see if I can leave a comment on your blog. Every time I try, it kicks me out! Will is CUTE as EVER!

  2. Woo Hoo! It worked. I wonder why leaving you a comment is so different than others. It's the same way on Britt's page...Hmmm. P.S. I re-read the end of Breaking Dawn just for fun and watched New Moon today while I worked. Obsessed? Can you tell?!?!?!
