I am so not kidding. Yesterday we had a high of 81 degrees. Then at about 2pm the temp started dropping. By 8:30pm it was storming & 51 degrees. Icky but it was getting late so who cares, right?
At about midnight we were locking up the house to go to bed… letting dog out for last time, etc. Much to my amazement… IT WAS SNOWING!!! Big flakes! I called out for Chris who immediately said “no way.” He couldn’t believe it either! We had the air conditioner on earlier!
Chris said, “we’ve got to go wake up the kids!” to which I responded “really???” Sure enough he got Katie up. I tried but William wouldn’t budge. Katie was pretty groggy & didn’t respond much, but she remembered this morning.
I’m so glad she got to see it. And it was still there in the morning! I had been about to blog about the fact that Katie was going to have to cancel Christmas. Ever since Thanksgiving she has been asking if it is Thanksgiving time or Christmas time yet. I’ve been telling her Christmas time but she refuses to believe me. She claims you have to have snow days in order for it to be Christmas time. I tried to explain that might not happen in Texas, but she wouldn’t believe me. Guess she was right. It is now Christmas time.

At the birthday party we attended on Saturday, they had lasertag after the pizza & cake. This was a first for both kids.
Being that it was a party for a young boy, there were way more boys than girls in attendance. And of course the boys wanted the game to be boys vs. girls. To help out in the fairness department (and probably because they are young at heart too) a few adults added to the girl team.
Katie needed a little help with her “bewner”. (Ya. That’s what she calls it. Think about it & it makes sense. What noise does it make? Bewn! Bewn! LOL.) It was pretty heavy for a 4 year old. She got it though. And boy was she tough!! Both games they played she’d come running out of home base searching immediately for William.
I think being so young & little helped her too. She kinda flew under the radar & never once completely died. Funny thing is that the boys’ team lost both rounds.
Don’t be alarmed by the pictures. It’s just lasertag.

Not really, but the picture screams it.
On our busy Saturday this past weekend, after the Army vs. Navy game, we went to a birthday party at our nextdoor neighbor’s house. Their son was turning 8 and had a Batman themed party with Games2U at their house.
Games2U is a company that brings this huge trailer that is air-conditioned and has all sorts of game consoles setup inside. Xbox, Wii, etc. Outside they had 2 Guitar Hero stations.
Since Katie really has no interest in video games yet, she ended up running around our front yard. At one point I helped her climb one of our trees. I thought she looked so cute hanging on like a little koala bear… I had to take a picture.
