We have real snow!

Yesterday morning we woke up to about 2 inches of snow. Actual snow! The girls were so excited. Ella still had to go to school because the roads were warm enough that the snow just melted when it landed. She was excited that the snow was still there when we got home. It snowed all day. I can't remember a day in Texas when it snowed all day long. So when we woke this morning there was about 6.5 inches of snow on the ground. School was closed today because it was below freezing and the roads were covered with snow. Matt still had to go to work. Originally AAFES said they would have a delayed opening at 10 am. So Matt left at about 9 am and of course a little while later they sent a notice out that they would not open until noon. But at that time he wasn't going to turn around and come home just to leave later. He got to work safe. He said they have about 14 inches of snow at AAFES. The kids have had fun playing in the snow. It is really good packing snow too. We are not equipped with good snow gear so I covered their hands and feet with plastic bags. It kept them fairly dry.

The only bad thing about the snow is that Ella's school Valentine's party was suppose to be today. Hopefully they will make it up to the kids somehow.
