Camelias

My camelia bush is loaded with buds. I cut these off before the temp dropped. I hope the freeze didn't get the ones that haven't opened yet.

It does SNOW in Texas!!!

This is what we woke up to this morning. Actually Chad woke me up around 1am. After he woke me up he said, "Well you don't have to look at it if you don't want." Well of course I had to go look but, I forgot to put on my house shoes. Let me just say, I don't like slab floors with tile on them at 1am in the morning. They are not just cold, they are COLD!!! Anyway we were headed back to bed and we heard Paul making noise, so we went in his room to see what the noise was for. He found out it was snowing and had to get up to look too. When we got up, the snow was so deep that Abby was buried. She had fun running around in the snow. It is the first time she has seen it. Schools were not canceled, only delayed 2 hours. The kids did not get a chance to go out and play in the snow before we left. As I was taking Joseph in to his school, I asked him if he wanted to touch the snow. He of course did. He stuck his finger out and went to touch it expecting it to be solid I guess. His finger sank down into the snow and boy he did not like that. He didn't want to touch it again either. It was cold and wet. Anyway the snow is leaving us almost as fast as it came. It sounds like it is raining outside, it is melting so fast.

District Pinewood Derby

Paul raced his car in the District Pinewood Derby. He placed 3rd place in the Bear Division. Joseph, Laura and Chad raced their cars in the Open division again. Nobody won, but they all had fun, especially when they beat daddy. We now have another year to plan cars for the next race.
