Snow Ball Fight

I think our Little  Ukrainian is loving this snow!

My Own Personal Snow Plower :) Thanks Mike!

More Snow

Is This Really Texas?????

We woke up to almost 8 inches of snow!  Last night they said, maybe an inch, possibly 3 inches. This is added to about 2 solid inches of ICE.  The entire city is shut down. Those who have dared to venture out are stuck in long lines of vehicles with road and bridge closures.

The SuperBowl activities have been hampered all week, not that it has effected us personally,

but I do feel for all the folks who came for the event. I feel especially for the small businesses that are losing out on all that revenue! Our business has been a ghost town all week.

Mike had to go out and get hay for the animals again to put in the shelters and he said it was pretty treacherous. I am REALLY glad I bought extra groceries on Monday just in case~!

The just in Case happened.

 Sarah fell yesterday while playing on the ice hill. But she said it was WAY worth it. :)

 This is as far as Erika goes! We promised to carry her out into the snow today for a little while.

 Time for a snow ball fight with daddy. :)  But right now, it is just pretty for a picture.

The baby cows next door are enjoying the snow.

We are LOVING IT! :)

Playing in the Ice

Here are Anna and Sarah playing in the ice and sleet!  If the camera was shaking it is because it is COLD!!!!!!!!  (about 25 degrees)  It has been in the teens most of the day.  And we are expecting more snow overnight.

Poor Erika cannot go out there in this stuff. She is resigned to observe.  I told her a head injury or trip to the hospital is just not worth it.  There is NO WAY she could balance on this stuff, and I cannot carry her. We'd both wind up in the hospital. :)

Can't Belive It!

7 Inches of snow on the 2nd day of Spring, with drifts more than that! How FUN!
Our friends visited church with us today, because their services were canceled, so it was a double treat. :)

And for a triple treat, we made more snow ice cream when we got home from church. YUM!

The Most Snow Since The 1800's!

More Snow

The grand girls came over to play! It is still snowing. It hasn't stopped yet.
I know some of you are sick of snow, but we get it so rarely, that it is a real treat.
Tonight, everything will have a hard freeze, so I don't think much will be open tomorrow in the A.M.
Lilly couldn't stop saying "SNOW! SNOW!" I think she was tasting it.

Creative Kids

Anna read in a book about "Ice Cream" and how to make it. So it was a very handy thing that it snowed today. :)
She took a little heavy whipping cream, a little sugar, a tsp of vanilla extract and SNOW....
She mixed it up, and it was really delicious! Of course, we made sure she picked her snow from a good place where no cat or goat had been. :)
She now understands what "Don't eat yellow snow" means.

I think she is proud of her creation!

Giving Erika a taste.... she just woke up. :)I think she likes it!
Now it is Sarah's turn.
The ice cream gets a Thumbs up! :)

Thanks Anna, we all enjoyed your creation!

SNOW!
