3,2,1....And we're back.....

Back from a Blog Sabbatical...

Upon requests from our fans, I am bringing the Mallinger Moments blog back in full force! This week in Mallingerville, we had a SNOW DAY, yes in sunny Cedar Park, TX!! 80 degrees this past Sunday and 20 on Friday! Only in Texas! We all got to stay home from school and work! And thanks to Leander ISD, my kids will now get 6 days off from school! Lucky kiddos over here! Leander does this February break every year for teacher conference, so it is a "pre-Spring Break" break! Unfortunately employers don't factor in this break, so it will be 3 days of tag team work from home for me and Daniel!

So here's how it went... Thursday night we are notified that school will start 2 hours late.

Kim changes alarm before going to bed at 1:30am....not believing that there will be enough snow to cancel school in the morning... Kim wakes up to make kids lunches at 7:30am, and in a fog is informed that SCHOOL IS CANCELED!! Kim crawls back into bed... happy Mommy!

8:30am - Friends show up at front door to play with Marissa and Mia and snow!! The snow was still fresh, the streets undriven.. Here are some pics of the fun they had! These pics were taken before I had a chance to layer my pjs and put down my coffee, so somehow our friendly visitors were not in any of the pics. boooo, Sorry M&M!

We left Mallinger Snow Angels all over our neighbor's drive ways! The snow was just too perfect not to mess up! However, the snow was too soft to make much of a snowman, but we tried anyway... after a little frustration, we moved on to snowballs, much more fun!!


Today was Saturday and we celebrated a 2 year old birthday with Baby Jacob at the bouncy place followed by another birthday with a school friend at the ice rink, with an indoor soccer game for Mia thrown in there, just to keep us on our toes!!
Snow is gone now and sun is back... all is well in Mallingerville! The snow was fun while it lasted!

Phew.. now that was not too hard... first blog is posted. More tomorrow!
