No, no one made a cake at our house today. But as south Texas is being hit with a taste of REAL winter, the girls saw sleet today for the first time in their memory. When it first began, Aubrey looked out the window and exclaims, "Look Mama, its icing!" Not only that, but we actually had icicles hanging off the swing set and roof. The girls were so excited just to see icicles, with wonder in their voices usually reserved for a winter wonderland of unspoiled snow.
There is actually a chance of snow here overnight and the girls are so excited. The younger 3 have never even seen snow and the older two were so little when they last saw it that they don't remember. While all the schools around here are closed, Homeschool ISD does not. However, if it snows today, you can bet your mittens that we'll be taking a real snow day. How often do San Antonio kids get to make snow balls, snow angels, or snow men?
UPDATE: Alas, alack, when we awoke this morning, there was of course no snow. There are some pretty wicked icicles hanging off everything, but no snow. (This is still South Texas, recent weather not withstanding.) The girls are ready to move north, convinced they will never see snow any other way. :)

Sniff, sniff, sniff! I was really hoping for a SNOW DAY today! Oh well....back to the books!
OK, the Prathers and the Burnetts would be thrilled if you moved up this way! Living here this year, there's no lack of snow! Had to light the fireplace tonight. The wind is making it feel lots colder than the thermometer says!
Hugs,

Oh, and good choice on the camera! I got the Rebel XTi for Christmas and am LOVING IT!
Stay warm! Ice can really stink. Ken had traveled to Ohio and was flying back through Dallas today - flight cancelled! He got back home coming through Chicago.
