Snowy Day






We got a little bit of snow last night and it managed to stick around for a bit of this morning. The ground looked like someone sprinkled powdered sugar over it instead of actual snow, but it was enough to make my kid's day. School started 2 hours later than normal so we were able to go out & have a good little snowball fight. While the snow was not abundant, it was nice & wet which made for some GREAT snowballs. The kids were rolled around it and made "snow angels". They were thrilled. And my heart is full!


Disclaimer:
Anyone from any place other than Waco would probably not call this a "snow day" but when you live in Central Texas you take what you can get....especially when you're 6 & 4 and don't know anything different.

Family Fun Night---Daddy Style


The kids LOVE it, obviously, when DADDY plans Family Fun Night!

Insights from Josh

Shawn & I were sitting on the couch this morning, enjoying our coffee while the kids watched Saturday morning cartoons. Josh came up and bounced onto the couch between us & asked us to tickle him because he wanted to laugh. What a self-aware little man!
I need to learn from him....a little more laughing would probably make me a happier mommy. I'm determined to find what tickles me & seek it out OFTEN!
