More Ice

An "Arctic Blast" came through South Texas on Tuesday, again shutting down schools and the government as well. It's funny. If there is any chance of precipitation with below freezing temperatures, everything shuts down.

The girls finished up a dollhouse they had been working on.

Here is our "snow!" I know Northerners would laugh, but it's a big deal to us.

 The kids worked on some letters they are sending to friends and family.

 We experimented with some ice castles.

 And the kids made me laugh when they came into the kitchen wearing this ensemble referring to themselves as "DJ's."

Inside

Yummy fingers!

Ancient Greece.

Friday was ice day! Temperatures went into the high 20's and the dreaded ICE was on the roads. Schools were cancelled and kids everywhere rejoiced.

One of the hens had icicles on her feathers.

Inside, we turned a horse into a beloved unicorn.

 And we kept chugging right along with Ancient Greece (seems to be a hit!).

The kids decided to celebrate their dragon's birthday.

Eaden had her annual gymnastics banquet at a nearby country club Friday night.

 She won the hardest worker award! To be honest, out of all of the awards, THAT is the one I would most want her to win. So I am VERY proud of her!
