A quick hello on this snow day in Texas. We got 6 inches here last night, perfect for staying home in jammies, sippin' that cocoa! Happy Thursday!

SNOW day

 Yesterday was our first REAL snow of the year. It snowed for a solid 8+ hours, ending my work day at 11 AM. Take that weekend! I called husband telling him I was on my way home and as I drove the 15 minute drive home, snow had accumulated dramatically. It just makes me so happy. The Jacobs love the snow. We live for it. Dallas doesn't get a lot of snow, maybe once or twice a year. Just enough for it to make me utterly giddy when it does.

I got home and husband and Liam were already outside prancing in the snow. As I pulled the car in, Liam was jumping up and down, smile wide on his blushed cheeks. I quickly went upstairs to throw on my boots and we spent the next hour walking around, enjoying the quiet that enveloped us. Soon enough, Liam was sick of the cold and shrieking, utter shrieking echoed from the ground to the sky.

Hate it, mom! Hate everything about this!

A quick change of clothes and a warm glass of milk later, we were on our way to pick up a few groceries. There was nothing special about the day, but just everything was. While Liam and husband napped, I snuck away to pick up absolutely nothing I need. Target, people, Target is my downfall. Went for Visine, left with a piggy bank (obviously THAT was a necessity), bananas, a beanie, a shirt for husband, and ground turkey. Forgot the Visine. But that piggy bank, good thing I got that.

 ^^^Despite my efforts to stop him, husband could not control his desire to do giant donuts. #andthentherewerecops

^^^his little baby snow prints. They just kill me. And his perfectly straight hands in his gloves. Apparently they're made of cement.^^^

 ^^^I'm now a wet, soggy mess after playing in the snow but I wouldn't have it any other way. My curled hair now looks like dreads. Supa cute.^^^

The one where we got iced

Some people have snow days, some have fog days, and some have ice days. Texas has ice days, where everything, everywhere is covered in inches of ice. Ice that looks like snow and can be rather deceptive. We usually have at least one ice storm a year and we are currently experiencing our first of 2015. Wonderfully, Dallas shuts down and the text message that the office is closed literally creates the excitement as close to Christmas as possible. We spent Monday mostly at home, husband feeling the need to drive in it as I'm sure men often do in ice. What is it about men and donuts? There's a reason my car never ends up face to face with a pole. Several trips to the store later we all ventured out for taco ingredients. As per usual, husband did his annual big fall on ice which created quite a stir in the Kroger parking lot. 

Are you OK? Do you need me to call someone?

A very distant, but very loud IS HE OK?! brought everyone's attention to the poor man paralyzed on the pavement, hand gripping his right booty cheek.

I keep telling him, never trust the ice. Just when you think you're safe, BAM, there you are sitting in a puddle of embarrassment. One day, perhaps he'll learn. Until then, ibuprofen.
