Snow Day!

Friday was a very big day around here! As we left the house in the morning, these big luscious flakes of snow were coming down all around us. The boys and I were feeling so very Christmasy as we drove around watching the snow fall and of course, listening to some good old fashioned "jingle bells." Those big chubby flakes followed us all the way to Clear Lake showing no signs of letting up , but instead of heading out to play we hurried inside Gigi and Grandad's warm cozy house. We just knew that there would be plenty of time to play in the snow later so why not wait on Daddy to get there. I mean, the weather guys were saying snow till 5 p.m. Uncle Mike was saying the biggest snow was surely coming at 3 p.m. So we figured what was the hurry? We went about our business, oohing and awing at the snow from inside the coziness of the house. Well, all of a sudden those big ol' flakes just up and stopped. It was right about this time that I started getting texts and pictures of the winter wonderland that had been happening and was continuing to happen back at our house in Pearland. I was pretty bummed to say the least, but I just kept thinking that those big luscious flakes would be back. We kept our eyes on the sky and with the slightest increase in flurries, we would exclaim "I think it's really going now" and the rush was on to get all bundled up and head outside. The 1st time we hit the front porch in a dead sprint, only to have Jack stop dead in his tracks and say "I think it's just raining." Luckily, the 2nd time out we convinced Jack that it was actually snowing and that the fun could finally begin. We had a great time and I even learned an important lesson...trying to catch those teensy-weensy snowflakes is just as much fun as catching those big luscious ones!
