CABIN FEVER!!!!

There is only so many days in a row I can stand to be inside all day, this week has me going stir crazy! In Texas we never have this kind of weather.  Matt has missed all week from school except last Monday.  Tuesday was a big storm with sleet and ice, the temperatures never got above freezing and early this morning and today it snowed about 5 to 7 inches! This has been a crazy winter.  I have missed work on Wednesday, Thursday, and  I will not be able to make it in tomorrow because it is still really bad outside.  The only good thing this week is we have all been able to spend time together which does not happen too often except on the weekends.  Brayden has been attached to Matt since he never really gets to see him during the week like he does me.

Today we all went outside and got to play in the snow.  We had a great time except when I was running away from the kid across the street, because we were having a snowball fight, and I totally almost busted.  There is a thick layer of ice under the snow that we got and I forgot and was running in the street and slipped but I did catch myself.  Brayden had a great time outside but he liked eating the snow the best and then he learned how to throw snowballs.  We went out again in the afternoon and built a snowman, well we attempted to build one, the one we made looks like a snow person...lol.  Both times coming in Brayden thew a fit because he wanted to stay outside even though his gloves were soaked and his lips were swollen from eating all the snow.  I told Matt that lots of women pay to get there lips to look like Bray's did.  So ladies just eat snow and freeze your lips, then they will swell up and be full...lol...j/k.  Hey, it is cheaper than injections!! This evening we were so ready to get out of the house, Matt decided that we would go out to eat.  We ended up at Dickey's since nothing else was really open.  On the plus side I did get to tan, I am surprised they were open.  The roads are still really bad and tonight they are just going to freeze again.  Hopefully tomorrow by late morning the sun will come out and melt this snow!! I need to get out of the house!  We need to go grocery shopping and I need to pick up my ring from the mall.  Hoping that the snow, ice, and sleet will stay away form here! I need to get back to work since I do not get paid for ice days.

Hope everyone is warm and safe!! Here are some pictures from today. (note: there are no pictures of me because I was wearing Matt's pants and they made me look horrible...lol)

Snow day!!

Today we have had a fun day, it was a snow day!! Well, there is really more ice than snow but hey we still went outside for a little bit so Brayden could play.  Matt's school was closed today so when Brayden got up this morning he was so excited to see daddie home!! He really is a daddie's boy when he is home since he doesn't get to see him much with his work schedule.  Today we made chocolate rice krispy treats and played in the snow.  I cannot believe that it was just about 70 degrees on friday and now its like 15 degrees, that's crazy Texas weather for ya!!  No wonder why everyone is getting sick all the time.

This past weekend we were suppose to go to the NFL Experience but I woke up on Sunday and was sick!!  I guess the food I ate made me sick because I started to feel better throughout the day, but that left Matt and Brayden on their own.  They still went to the NFL Experience and had fun so that made me feel a little better because I had really wanted to go.  When they came back they showed me what they bought and what a bargain he got.  He got 4 shirts and a poster for $40!!! I know right!!  Well the lady totally messed up when checking him out and only charged him for two things!! I know he should have said something but he asked her if she was sure of the total and she said yes so, needless to say we got over $100 of stuff for $40.  Then Matt came and showed me this piece of blue plastic and I had no clue what it was until he turned it around....he bought a freaking seat from the old Cowboys stadium!! What??!?? Where they heck is that thing gonna go??? Oh well, he really wanted it and is a big Cowboys fan so it can go in the garage with all his other stuff...lol.

This past friday the weather was so nice so I decided to take Bray on a walk and we went to the park where he had a blast! He loved it so much he screamed and cried the whole walk home, we then made some brownies for daddie.  Bray is growing so much and loves to help out so he helped me with the brownies.  He also got some cowboy boots this weekend and he loves those boots! He was wearing them around the house in his pj's.  We bought them because we are going to a bull riding event at Cowboys Stadium in February so he has to dress the part!

Well this was my weekend in a crazy nutshell!! Here are some pictures from this past weekend and today! Enjoy!!


Like my new boots??





Trying to eat the snow!
