Icy Weekdays

Wow...this doesn't usually happen in Texas, but for the past two days, the temperatures have been in the teens and ice everywhere. We woke up to a thunderstorm/ice storm on Monday morning. It was crazy hearing the weather and then looking outside to see white everywhere (usually snow is soft, calm, and beautiful...not violent sounding). At first, I had hoped it was snow, but after looking closer, it was just ice...EVERYWHERE.
It did give us the opportunity to stay at home where we snuggled up and watched movies (Barrett's favorites: CARS, Nemo, Monsters Inc., Incredibles, and Toy Story 3). We made it through CARS and part of Incredibles. The other movies are favorites of his and will have to be saved for antoher snow/ice/rainy day.

It was definitely a day of hot chocolate, not to mention a really good (healthy) chicken chili for supper.

As I was cooking, I took this video of Barrett. He was playing with his little Lego men and acting out his own scenario. Finally, I realized what he was saying. It's good to know he is thinking of Bible stories. Maybe he will grow up to share those stories with other people someday.

The story of David and Goliath

And this is where his new hiding place is. He gets our remote controls and aims them at me (making a shooting sound). Nice, right? We go from praying like a sweet, little Christian boy to a wild shooter. Hmmmm?!?!

Oh yeah, Matt and Barrett actually ventured out in Wylie to eat lunch with Barrett's BFF. The sun had come out and the roads had turned to slush...so we let Barrett meet up with Wyatt to let some energy out. They had a good time and Barrett took a decent nap afterwards. Play time always helps with that.

Stay warm everyone!!!!
