It doesn’t snow in Austin. Well let me rephrase that, it rarely maybe once in five years snows in Austin. But when I woke up today and opened the curtains there were snowflakes the size of Texas coming down.

I looked back in my bed and there lay three sleeping babes and my hubby. So what’s a mama to do but yell SNOW!!!! Oh and no we don’t have a family bed. We have sneaky little ones that gradually make their way into our bed when they wake up. Only to snuggle in and fall back asleep.

For all of the days that I stood on my porch, coffee in hand, wishing the drizzle were snow. Thank you God.

The kids school was canceled since we all live on back roads. Hubby is at home too. Today I’m anxiously awaiting a package from FedEx with the lasers of the Craft Hope book. Direct from Hong Kong. Scratch that, as I was typing that sentence the doorbell rang. Aaaack!

Wish I could stay and chat but it’s SNOWING!!!! And it’s supposed to keep coming down all day long. We’ve got our sleds and are ready to rock and roll!

    THE BOOK!!!!!!!! Oh how exciting! Congratulations!

    I wish the snow would stick in Tyler but I think it’s too warm to stay around much longer. Enjoy yours!

    yes! the snow is INSANE! Lucy ran into my room saying “mom it’s snowing!” and I replied (half awake) “no it’s just raining”.
    “NO mom, it’s snowing.” So rolled out of bed and then I was wide awake with excitement. It WAS snowing! Yipee!!

    And THE BOOK!!! I’m super excited for you and for everyone. So cool!
