Snow and Ice! Do we really live in Texas?

This week we had one of the worst ice and snow storms in the Dallas area. School was canceled for 4 days in a row, and cabin fever hit our house hard! I do not know who was losing their mind more...me or Brooks, Reese and Sloane!
After the 3 day of being stuck indoors, we got about 6 inches of snow! Since all of the ice was covered with snow, we finally got out to play in the backyard...

We love our swings!

We love snow!
Three little snowmen...
The view from our front door...pure ice and snow! It is difficult to tell where the sidewalk and street are located.
Our house....where's the street?
Playground! The slide is ice and snow...


On Day 2 of the storm, we experienced "rolling blackouts" where we would lose power every 45 minutes. The power would be out for about 20 minutes, come back on and then go off.....it was extremely annoying! Luckily Steve stayed home from work that day and we took the Trio to the movies and lunch!
