Rare Winter Fun!!!

Everyone knows it is not that often you see SNOW in Houston.  All week long on the news they kept saying snow on Friday.  I just brushed it off thinking if it did snow it would be a little flurry that would melt before it even hit the ground.  Well Friday rolled around and we had sleet/water/ice mix all morning.  So I thought that was it.  Then, Mason’s teacher called and said that they were closing school at NOON….ARE YOU KIDDING!!! The roads weren’t icy, slick or snow even on the ground.  CRAZY!  Anyways, we headed Friday to pick Mason up from school and as we were leaving it started to snow a little more.  By the time we picked him up the snow flakes were getting bigger and bigger.  By the time we got home….SNOW WAS EVERYWHERE!  YAY…we were all so excited! Mason thought we were going to go skiing right then and there.  (Only because we are heading to Vail this Feb. for a family trip with my family and have talked about how it SNOWS there and we will get to ski)  So of course we bundled up and headed outside for some snow FUN!  Mason however did not like the snow flakes falling and getting into his eyes so he had to wear his sunglasses :)  What a wonderful Friday Afternoon!  Funny thing…we are looking to put a pool in and we had a meeting with a pool guy that afternoon as it was SNOWING :)

Mason had so much fun building a snowman, having a snowball fight and just running around sliding in the snow ;)  Poor Madelyn watched from the window!
