...and a real snow day

another storm blew through last thursday night that called for "a dusting up to 1" of snow" and holy moly i wonder what measuring tools they're using!

all in all we got about 5" of pretty, fluffy snow...on top of sheets of ice so it was fun but a bit yikes if you know what i mean! by saturday night the snow had melted substantially and by sunday it was pretty much all gone (from our area, anyway). we watched the big game with some friends and enjoyed the last day of what seemed like an extra long weekend after all those days off!

did you all have a good weekend?? are you freezing still wherever you are?!

oh and ps. what's with all the violence and throwing stuff at people in all the super bowl commercials?! i swear there had to be at least 5 commercials with people throwing stuff at each other!

sweater day

well it's technically another "snow day" here in dallas, but really it's an "ice day," so in our house that means sweater day :)

we have been off work/school since tuesday when the weather was blowing in and it's passed now but we are left with highs barely reaching 20 today and streets covered in sheets of ice, so we're off again today.  and in case you didn't know, the super bowl is in town this week so it's already mayhem and the weather is just adding to all the craziness.

i hope wherever you all are you are warm and safe and cozy :)

oh! and thank you thank you all for your sweet comments about bowie.  we are truly blessed and fortunate to have our little miracle dog and his loving big sis!!

hunter wellies

since there was a smidge of snow on the ground yesterday, i seized the opportunity to wear my new hunter welly boots :)

remember when i asked santa so sweetly for them? well he brought them in the most perfect color of aubergine and i love them! yay for snowy/rainy/any days that i can wear my wellies.

lazy sunday

it snowed here yesterday (well as much snow as you can really get in dallas...) so we decided to stay in and be lazy...i made an executive decision not to get out of my mukluks all day and do nothing but cook, eat, sleep and read.

that is until stephen had the bright idea to go out to ikea...we made out like bandits at their sale and proceeded to come home and redo our entire living room.  so much for the lazy day!! the snow was not enough to get the schools closed so i'm at work wishing that it would snow just a little more so i can have a real "snow day" at home :)

how was your weekend??

snow day

on friday, my office and stephen's school were closed so we had a nice little snow day.

we got to play in the snow

& build a snowman

it was so much fun!

...but roxy grew tired of the snow pretty quickly :)
