Dallas Arboretum

Well, the daffodils were lovely and there were a few tulips blooming, but unfortunately, we spent most of our time in Pioneer Town @ the Arboretum. The weather warmed up nicely and we were able to get out after 3 late naps. (They always do that-- on days you want to do something,t hey all sleep late!)

Love this one... didn't see what Avery was doing until after we were in the car...

Happy Birthday, honey!

Our very talented friend, Corinne, made Scott's birthday cake this year-- the most awesome thing I have ever seen!!! The detail for each app, the color, the time!!! It is too beautiful to eat...

A little outdoor time...

... before the big storm hits! (Schools are closed AGAIN!)

Even though the air temps were in the 40s, we still went out to play. The kids all love the dirt-- I told Scott we are not going to plant anything in the big planters-- they are just going to serve as dirt boxes for the kids.

Our 3rd Ice Day!

Well, it's our 3rd day of being iced-in, and tomorrow should deliver a topping of snow. *sigh* Schools are closed, roads are slick, so we are staying put. Thank goodness we are not starving and have heat (although the roaming power outages yesterday scared me-- no coffee?!?!)

The kids are doing well-- we rotate between crafts, tv, snacks/eating, and playing.
