This has been the weirdest winter yet. Last Tuesday, DFW received a powerful ice/snow storm that had the kids out of school for 4 days straight (unheard of). We had bout 1-2 inches of ice, then 4-5 inches of snow on top of that. Our driveway that faces North and was in the shade the entire time was impossible to get out of, even with salt and a couple of attempts at shoveling it off. Finally on Saturday, it started to melt and I was able to get out of the house. Also, Texas went though rolling blackouts due to the high level of electricity use. We only lost our power twice, but some areas lost it four times. During this insane time, we bundled up and read a lot of books, colored, watched movies, ate a lot of chili and homemade chocolate chip cookies, and even played in the snow a bunch of times. I really didn't start going stir crazy until that last Friday when the kids started picking on each other. And then round two came... the following week!?!... Tuesday night it started to sleet and snow, school was canceled Wednesday again! Luckily, the sun came out and let us go back to school on Thursday 2 hours later then normal start. But it was still icy that morning, and as I said goodbye to Victoria at her car pool drop off, she slipped and fell. She was okay, but it is a reminder to be careful on ice.
That Wednesday that we had off, we were all so goofy from the lack of schedule. Victoria and Bella took off all the couch cushions and piled them in the den. They called their world "Pantie World"- and this is why...
