Things You Don't Have to Do in Texas!

We had a fair amount of snow on Friday night/Saturday so today it was time to shovel the sidewalk. Thankfully my husband is from Michigan and is no stranger to shoveling!
Action shot! (and yes, he is shoveling in cowboy boots!)

Posed shot. Please pretend with me that his eyes are not closed in this picture.

We also decided Saturday morning would be a good time to play in the snow since it was the weekend and the snow was fresh. Well, first of all, it was still snowing when we went outside and since the snow here is really dry the wind was picking it up and blowing it all in my face. I decided it would be best to go outside like this. (Sorry for the blurriness, I took this on my phone)

And yes I really did wear that outside. Its freezing, people! We tried to build a snowman but the snow was too dry to pack together so it was a major fail.  Then Mickey and John decided to try sledding down this small hill behind our houses. Although it is not recommended for pregnant ladies to go sledding we decided it would be okay for me to try once since it was such a small hill. I was pretty nervous because my first ever sledding experience in Michigan hurt really bad and was NOT fun at all. I'm happy to report that I did not fall on that tiny hill and the baby is fine BUT my pinky finger is not. It got smashed between a rock and the sled on the way down and now looks like this. Hopefully we don't have to amputate!

Welcome to winter!
