Paytie and her sweat bands

Do you think its time we buy the poor girl some bracelets? Every time we turn around she is in our closet digging out her dads wrist band and headbands. They are usually lined all the way up her arms and on her head. I also find them stuffed in her purse and in her toy box and Milan can't seem to find them when he's ready for his run.

Snow Day!!!

It's beginning to feel like Home. As much as I have loved living in a warmer climate, I have to admit that occasionally I miss the snow, but only for a minute. It started to snow yesterday and I thought it would only be a little skiff and be gone by afternoon, but then it kept snowing and snowing right on through the night and this morning, this is what we woke up to...

And this was yesterday...

My kids have been playing like crazy in the snow and yes, we are prepared for it. We have our BOOTS, SNOW PANTS, GLOVES, HATS, and COATS. Now who's laughing, for those who laughed when we brought our "snow things" from Utah.

I took Payton out to play in the snow since she has never really seen the snow. She loved it for about 5 minutes. She's definitely a Texas girl.

There is hours and hours of entertainment outside which is a good thing since they cancelled school due to the snow. It seems so silly to cancel school for this much snow, but in Texas they are not equiped to handle this much snow. I heard they haven't had this much snow in a long time, like over 30 years. The great thing about this snow is probably by tomorrow it will all be gone and it will warm back up. This is the best way to have snow.

Are you Prepared?

We learned a valuable lesson this week. We are not prepared for intruders. Someone tried to break into our next door neighbors home 2 nights in a row. It was a little terrifying to get a call in the middle of the night from your neighbors saying "someone is trying to break into our home, were hiding in the closet, but the police are on their way." I'm glad they were comfortable enough to call us because I would have felt worse had they not called. It's comforting to know that we have good neighbors we can call in case of an emergency. It was a little difficult to back to sleep since we jumped at every little noise in the house, but I think this was a great wake up call for us to get prepared for an intruder should it ever happen to us. The first thing I did the next day was buy some door alarms and locks. On the bright side, it gave us a good idea for FHE this week. I don't know about you, but my kids will open the door for anyone. Most burglaries happen during the day sometimes even with the people home. So due to the past days events, we are a little more prepared if something were to happen. It doesn't hurt be a little more cautious these days. Are you Prepared?
