Gloom & Doom: 2/1/11


Every year Texas gets at least 1 ice day a year, minimum.  Every year it's "gloom & doom!" and there is nothing on the TV but the news talking about road closures, the weather, ect.  Last year if you recall it snowed a record of 15 inches.  That few days was a blast and we could still get out after the first few hours - if needed - but today we received nothing but sleet and ice!  We did get a fine layer of 'snow dusting' but it's pretty much a solid block of ice outside.  Lucky for me, I don't have to work today (WHOO HOOO) and Scott's school finally cancelled their day classes (We are still awaiting word if his night class is on), so our lil family is chillin' at home nestled in a warm house.  Thank God for heating and electricity - some aren't so lucky!

Austin's chillin' in his 'home' and watching CARS on the portable DVD while playing with his CARS cars alongside the movie. 
 
This 'home' has been up for 6 days now! 

 

Scott working on his Trigonometry homework! 

And, for the meantime, I'm drinking a nice hot cup of coffee watching the "gloom & doom" on the TV 

Later today we will be making pizzas for lunch and getting out the watercolors and the craft box!  They aren't predicting the weather temps to get above freezing until Friday afternoon so it's time to be creative!

We're trying to be creative, too!

Bug and I stayed home from church on Sunday because we were both sick, so she was already acting stir crazy by about 10:30 this morning. She kept asking, "What are we goin' ta do?" and "Where awe we goin'?".

We did end up getting out for an errand and lunch, and that really helped her mood. We'll see how she does tomorrow when we're stuck inside again.
