Can you believe it? SNOW IN TEXAS! It snowed in February so bad (from a Texan point of view) that they sent BISD home early and had a delayed start the next day. Hallie spent the most of the day with her friends in the neighborhood and Margueret went to another friend's house to play in the snow. Little Temple. Texas received six inches of snow that day!

Our tin snowman that sits out on our front porch all year long finally got to see the snow for the first time since leaving Massachusetts about three years ago.

Later that night Hallie and Margueret decided to go and make a snowman like the good old days. Although the snowman was a little dirtier than in Massachusetts it was so much fun. Because of the shortage of materials the snowman ended up being very 'Texany' with hoola hoops for arms, a sand shovel for eyes, a sand bucket for a hat and a single plastic ball for an eye making it a Cyclops snowman.
