Snow-magedon

Well the winter storm was indeed a winter storm!!  We woke up to snow and very cold temperatures.  It was pretty crazy!!  The kids loved it!  

Of course there had to be some dares....running around the yard in their underwear in the freezing cold!

Puppy loved to be inside....he didn't care for the cold much.  One time he was out running in it and his paws got too cold.  He started acting funny and could barely walk.  He spent a lot of time inside!

We got the kids doing a workout video called Insanity.  They were thrilled.....not really.  We definitely needed to get some energy out after awhile!!

Right before this my treadmill bit the dust.  Quite sad when you can't run so one day I ran 3 miles around our property in my snow boots....yes I think I was a bit nutty after being inside that long!!

Lots of game playing and beating this kid at Pan-Am!

Tristen came over and played too.

My little snow angel!

It was so cold and the snow was so dry it wouldn't even pack together to make a snow man.  So we had a snowpile instead.

It got down to -2 one day and a wind chill of -20 but the pool thankfully never froze.  We had pieces of ice floating and one waterfall completely froze but the pool kept running.  We only lost power once and it was only for a few minutes.  We were super thankful because some lost power for days....and definitely were experiencing all kinds of damage. 

If we didn't pick up the eggs first thing they would be frozen quick!!  We definitely didn't get this one in time.....

That day the wind was blowing was just bitter cold.....hard to even explain!!

We made snow ice cream!!  So yummy!

Grams and Pops were able to drive over one day and brought Lainey with them.  That was a fun day for Lucy! 

Another day the Schefflers got to come and play!  The boys started building a HUGE snowman.  It had warmed up enough that the snow was starting to stick now.

Lucy and Kate came out and helped too!  We had a whole family of snow people!

They made some pizza in Lucy's easy bake oven.

This was the snow man just a few days later.  It went from -2 to about 50 a few days later.  Crazy Texas weather!!!
