Snow Day

Like the rest of the country, we had snow this week. We started the week with a beautiful 75 degree day on Monday. Jonathan got the day off so we decided to take advantage of the warm weather and spent the afternoon at the park. We knew it was supposed to snow that night and snow it did. But not very much, at least not compared to the Eastern side of Texas and Oklahoma.
Kirsten got up first thing on Tuesday and wanted to go outside and play. Colton decided it looked pretty fun and wanted to join her. Since it really doesn't get that cold here that often he doesn't even have a big coat. So he had to wear a hand me down that is WAY too small, Kirsten's pink gloves and cowboy boots. Oh and he saw Max's little Santa hat and wanted to wear it too. When he got outside he decided the gloves and hat had to go. About two seconds after that he decided it was way too cold to be outside without a hat and gloves and came back inside.













The roads really weren't that bad but we were stuck home anyway because Colton was sick and Kirsten didn't have school. We had to find some way to occupy ourselves so Kirsten and I had a little Cupcake War.

Kirsten set up a "display" for her cupcakes.


And then stood before the judges. We ended up winning, so that was pretty exciting!

Colton enjoyed eating the cupcakes.


Little Max was sick this week too.


Our hot water heater froze so we had no hot water for a good part of the week. Boiling water on the sink to do dishes and take a bath is a not fun. I don't know how people did it back in the day. Before the nice warm water went away Max had his first bath in the big boy tub.


Trying to enjoy a Sunday afternoon nap.

At least you guys got some snow. We ended up with some freezing temperatures, a bit of ice, but nothing fun. School was closed, work was closed, and there wasn't much to show for it! Looks like Jonathan is getting some good rest! :)
