Last Friday, we had promises of waking up to a winter wonderland. Schools and businesses closed the day before in preparation of at least 2 inches of snow (that is what the weathermen promised)!!!
At 5am, I was awoken by an automated phone call from our city letting us know of freeway closures due to ice. I looked outside and saw........NOTHING!!! Not even one drop of snow. Instead we had tons of ice. Icicles hanging off the house, Jason's car was coated in 1 inch of ice and the freeways of Houston became paralyzed due to ice. After watching the news all morning, Jason braved the roads around 10am to head into work for a few hours to get things squared away so he could work from home.
The kids and I stayed in our pajamas and watched tv all day long! It was so nice. Jason got home early because the roads were supposed to refreeze when the sun went down. We ate dinner, lit a fire in the fireplace, made smores and watched Beauty in the Beast. It was a wonderful family evening!
Jason toasting the marsh mellows and Clayton eating the graham crackers first!
Brinley enjoying her smore with Rylee hoping she drops it!

Love his smiles!!!!!!!!
It has been a long time since we have stayed in our pajamas all day. Brinley did question why they had to put new pajamas on to go to bed that night, but I just thought fresh pj's were needed to get a good night's sleep! When all was said and done, the news reported over 800 wrecks in Houston during a 12 hour period due to ice! As I look out the window right now, it is raining and the temperature has dropped from 46 degrees to 33 degrees in two hours.....we will see if there is a repeat! HURRY UP SPRING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
