The Big Freeze

Earlier this month we actually had almost a week of really, really cold weather. Cold enough to freeze ice on our windshield in the mornings. Since I don't own an ice scrapper for my car, Michael helped clear the windows before school with a cd case we had in the car. Whatever works!

Taking advantage of the rare below freezing temperatures, Michael and his friend Tyler decided to camp outside one night. CRAZY! I was cold inside my house, with socks on (a rarity at our house!), but they had a blast.

Once the days got a little warmer, we ventured out to the park afterschool to meet some friends and get some fresh air. It was a lot of fun.

Of course, through all of the cold spell, Jake still refused to wear anything but shorts. He is a Texan boy for sure. Good thing for him the cold spell only lasted a few days and we are back to 70+ degree weather again!
