This is the remnant snowman made today from the remains of the Alamo, the canon, the dog, and several other little snowmen the kids made Thursday and Friday.
This was probably Friday morning. Or maybe Thursday night since it doesn't quite look deep enough to be Friday.12 inches in Dallas! Can you believe it?
In Plano, we got 8. The kids played all Thursday afternoon and all day Friday. They even went sledding down a little hill we have by our park.
Yesterday, Rachel played for so long that she was crying from the cold, but when I told her she had to stay in for awhile, she cried even harder! A little later, after she had been back outside, I told her it was time to come in, and she started to cry again. She said, "I don't want the snow to go away!"
Then, Thursday evening, Lynette started with the illness that James and Elaine have, only she went straight to breathing distress. I thought I was going to have to go to the ER Thursday in the snow and ice. Fortunately, we were able to get it under control. She felt fine all day Friday, and actually could breathe easier outside, so I let her play. Then Friday night, same thing repeated, only worse and with fever. We were lucky again, though, and didn't end up at the ER. Craig took her to the doctor this morning, where they did a strep test (negative, of course. My kids have NEVER tested positive for strep!), and ended up giving her prednisone for the cough. Rachel is also starting to cough, (which possibly explains the amount of tears we had yesterday!) though at least she doesn't have the asthma to complicate things.
Today, there is still a bit of snow around, but I am glad it is melting! I felt like we were in Ohio again!

Sorry to hear you're sick. Glad you didn't have to travel in that snow. It's a three day weekend here and we are planning on going to the pool on Monday. Hope we come back with all 5 grand-kids safe and sound.
