Enough Already!

Ok, ice and freezing temperatures. We get your point. You may leave now.

So, we have been iced into our house since TUESDAY. (It is now SATURDAY!!!!) Overnight on Monday, we got about 2 inches of ice. This almost always means that the Dallas-Fort Worth area is completely shut down, and it was not helped by the fact that the temps were in the single digits for the next few nights and never got about about 18 for two days. This did make for an easy first week back to work for me, since I only worked for one hour on Monday. School was cancelled for the other four days this week. I have lived in Dallas for the vast majority of my life, and I NEVER remember getting 4 inclement weather days in a row!

Phil stayed home from work on Tuesday, but managed to (slowly) make it in on Wednesday and Thursday. He didn't make it in on Friday because, that morning, we woke up to find about 6 inches of snow had fallen on top of the ice. Yeesh! At least we were able to get out and play in the snow...I was about to lose my mind after being inside for so long! Here are some pics from Lucas' week in the cold.

I was attempting to get a pic of Lucas standing on the massive sheet of ice outside our door...then he bit it.



Day 1: Walking on the ice.



Day 4: Ummm...how am I supposed to move in this stuff?

 We are hoping to head out on an exciting trip to Target or something today. Our big church conference was cancelled because of the weather. Tomorrow is the Super Bowl, and we can't help but wonder...Is this what Jerry Jones gets for making that deal with the devil so many years ago? Perhaps...
