as far as the eye can see...

would you believe that it's February in the Lone Star State? but then again nothing surprises me here with the weather. when my youngest was born 2 years ago, it snowed just like this, and it was MARCH! when most kids are starting spring break, ours are bundling up for snow! yeah, yeah northerners...blah blah blah you see snow 8 months out of the year, but this is TEXAS - it's HOT here most of the time. i even searched for, what seemed hours, historical data on previous record holding snow days in our area. couldn't find much, but i'm going to go on record and say that in the 5 years that we've been here, this has never happened! yes, it may snow for a few hours and stick for a few hours, but today it started snowing in the wee hours of the morning and has not even shown signs of stopping. we're starting to get drifts in the yard and the planters around the house are all now hidden under blankets of snow.

the kids are bugging the crap out of me to go out and play, but i'm such a weenie souther girl, that we're not really equipped to go out in the snow. the kids don't have gloves or water proof shoes, and i don't have any way to protect my camera (we have to document this momentous occasion). i'm really hoping that my hubby decides to call it a day at work and head home early just so i don't have to take all 3 kids out in the snow by myself...
