I will admit that I totally scoffed when Connor informed me back on Tuesday that it was supposed to snow on Friday. Yeah right, buddy. First of all, it hardly ever snows in Houston, and on top of that, it snowed last year so there is no way we would get snow two years in a row. I sure am eating my words! This morning it started snowing big, fat, fluffy flakes.
Camryn ran out the back door while I was taking this picture. It didn’t take her long to realize that was a mistake! Before these snowflakes started falling, it rained quite a bit. Our yard gets quite swampy when it rains, and Camryn ran straight into the puddle. Which definitely doesn’t feel good when it’s 34 degrees outside.
It was much cozier to just watch the snow fall from the window.
By lunch time, the snow had pretty much stopped. There have been a few flurries here and there, but not the big flakes like this morning. The boys really didn’t care, though. They put on their winter stuff and played in the backyard. They are so happy about this wintery weather!
I’ll tell you what I’m not too happy about. Right now, I should be getting all fancied up for Derek’s company Christmas party. But, because of the weather, they canceled it. I mean, I got a new dress that needed special undergarments and everything. In my mind (and I’m sure this is only in my mind) it was going to be like grown up prom. The dress, the shoes, the jewelry, fixing my hair pretty and putting on make-up. And, of course I cut the tags off everything and washed everything so it’s all going to be in my closet forever. Anyone throwing a fancy party any time soon? I’ll be there, decked out in my new duds. The good news is our sitter is still up for coming over, so we are just going to have non-comany-paid-for date night instead. I’m sure we’ll have fun, but I was so looking forward to dressing up fancy! In fact, I might just put my new outfit on anyway and make Derek take a picture of me, just for fun. This makes the third year that I’ve wanted to go to the party but something always comes up. Year one, I was in our church play, had rehearsal, and I was first trimester preggo to boot. Year 2 I had a 5 month old and no sitter I felt comfortable enough with. And now, year 3, the party is canceled. I wonder if I will ever go to a fancy Christmas party. They are probably overrated anyway.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Haha. I love this blog entry. We all have our idiosyncracies and this is so you! It remind me of some pictures that I saw of you in patrick’s collection. I’m sitting in my car right now because I don’t feel like driving home from running errands, so I’m in the parking lot reading your blog. Sometimes the city and traffic overwhelm me, that’s my idiosyncracy, so thanks for the entertainment!
totally love the black and white of little Camryn
Hey Megan, it’s been FOREVER! Your pictures are amazing!! I was planning on telling you that before I saw your previous blog on thinking about taking them professionally. I totally agree that you need to open up a business. BTW, your oldest son looks JUST like you. Your family is adorable, I am so happy for you and Derek!!
