On the Sixth Day of December
Friday, December 4, 2009 at 04:11PM S. Texas's version of snow.
So Friday we got a little bit of snow flurries. Yay. You never know with South Texas weather. But they showed up for a short time. A few and none stuck. But while I was watching them come down, I got sad thinking about how excited the girls would have been to see it. They of course were at school. So I emailed Vienne's kinder teacher saying that it was snowing out at our house, maybe if you saw it you could let the kids look out the window, I'm sad they could miss it. A few moments later she emailed back saying that they had just come in, they let the kids go out to play in it. I cried, I was so happy for them! Vienne was so happy when she got home. Natalya on the other hand said that her teacher said it was too cold. Hmf. It's disappointing to think that lots of the fun gets lost as you get older.
Speaking of really really cold. I might not have mentioned that but it is really really cold. I ordered a coat on Thursday night. A nice cold weather coat. Down in these parts generally it gets cold but doesn't stay cold. So I can really talk myself out of a cold weather coat. I have lots of nice coats but not so warm. Well I ordered it on Thursday night and I got it on Friday!! I paid no shipping at all. Awesome company Zappos is. Check 'em out if you have been living under a rock.

That story of Vienne getting to play in the snow in the middle of the school day almost make ME cry! Wondergul. Gorgeous photo!!! It has been freakishly cold, huh?!
I love V.'s teacher. Just on that bit alone.
I'm glad they got to go out.
It has been cold here too...but I kinda like it.
brrr...I know you Texans aren't used to the cold!
I told you I would send you a coat! No need to buy one. I can't believe Natalya's teacher thougth it was too cold. How lame. Austin doesn't get to stay "in" for recess unless its below 0, that's right...ZERO! Now that is one extreme to the other.
