Once Upon an Ice Day

Well all of Houston was buzzing with the 80% possibility of snow that accumulates!! Our kids were so excited and Brooklyn even prayed the night that it was supposed to snow, "Dear God, please send the snow so we can play in it in the morning, but keep others healthy who are out in it." I thought that was such a sweet prayer...well....you know there was a 20% chance that it wouldn't snow and it didn't! Colson wanted to get up and play in it that morning but Brooklyn just told him that God decided not to send the snow. She still is praying for snow every night at bedtime. They dealt with it very well and had fun just going to get icicles off of the car and grass! We did have ice in the area so it was an ice day at home!!! For those of you who know us well, you know that are a go-go family and it is VERY rare to just have a lazy day! We had many fun things to keep them from going stir crazy! I taught Brooklyn how to play Old Maid and Battle and she loves playing those card games now! She is very good at them both and laughs hysterically when I am left with the Old Maid! Crafts, drawing, playing in the Alford band, hot chocolate and many more activities made it a fun home day!
