Musical interests of the 4 year old.

Child #4 walked into the room a little while ago. I was listening to the radio and she suddenly asks," Is this the Black Keys?"

Why yes, yes it is.

"Thought so." and she strolled back out of the room.

Yep, she likes the Black Keys, Lady Gaga and Foo Fighters. No Barney or Fisher Price music for this little girl.

Lacrosse Season starts soon...


Its Official. He's a Lacrosse player. Child #2 now has his gear and is registered to play lacrosse this season.

He's so excited especially when Hubby commented that he looked like a Clone Trooper in his equipment. The Boy loved that.

Why yes is DOES snow in Texas... a little


We had another snow day today. An INCH! Okay so that doesn't sound like a lot but it is a record for us. Previous record was 1/2 inch in 1906 at Camp Mabry. Now there are other places around Austin that have recorded larger amounts over the years but that is one of the official weather stations. It is located in an area surrounded by lots of streets and tons of cement/asphalt which holds the ground temperature heat in.

Anyways, the kids enjoyed it. Well Child #4 lasted about 10 minutes then she was done... ready for some hot chocolate and a blanket inside.



Snow Angels.

Snowball fights with the neighbors.

And of course the ubiquitous snowman. Okay so he wasn't huge but hey we only got an inch or so of very very dry powder. It didn't want to compact at all.

I've currently got a Turkey roasting in the oven. Stuffing, mashed potatoes and rolls... Just like Thanksgiving... seems appropriate since we have real winter weather today.
