Snow Much Fun!

It is a Winter Wonderland in DFW today and I have the pictures to prove it! 

Our school district was closed so Ben & Kate did not have Mother's Day Out and we were stuck inside but we made the best of it. They had fun playing in the snow for a little while this morning, Kate more than Ben!

This is what our house and street looked like:

 

I just bought Ben & Kate some new rainboots anticipating rainy spring weather so they came in handy today!

 

That is a Mardi Gras wreath if you are wondering- Fat Tuesday is Feb 16th!

Here they are venturing out....

Kate thought the snow was delicious and ate a few bites of snow ball....

 

Ben trying to catch some flakes on his tongue...

 

Kate with a snow ball, wanting to take it inside!

Kate and Mark went out later and tried to build a snowman. Mark said it was harder than he thought! Us Texans don't get much practice in that area! And we didn't know what to use for eyes- people on Facebook suggested poker chips, oreos, plastic eggs and after trying Mr. Potato head pieces we settled on mini oreos! I did not get a picture however- I suppose it's still out there but it's too cold! 

Tomorrow morning is supposed to be cold and icy but it should clear in the afternoon and warm up for the weekend, thank goodness! I'm ready for my mild Texas winter to come back!

Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, 

but just look at what they can do when they stick together.
