Cold February

It's been freezing this month, and we're all ready for some spring-like weather. The kids squeal and complain every time we get in the car, until the heat gets going. I know we don't suffer like some who live up north, but there's a reason we chose to live in Texas, and it wasn't for the beautiful beaches or lack of bugs. We're trying to look on the bright side and enjoy the fun things about winter. Here are some:


warming your toes by fires in the fireplace

roasting marshmallows

roasting chesnuts

cute winter hats

watching your breath as you play outside

snuggling in a chair to read a good book

hot chocolate and hot tea

fuzzy scarves

not having to mow the lawn

the occasional sleet or frost

concrete floors, that make it possible to ride your bike or scooter inside

soup in bread bowls

fuzzy Crocs


We'll try to enjoy it while we can, because we'll soon be complaining that it's too hot. Then, I'll be thankful for all my cute tank tops...
