So being in South Texas, we rarely get much of a winter. This year has been slightly different...it has been much colder than in year's past and last night the conditions were just right to make an ice day. If you're not from South Texas, you wouldn't quite understand and probably think we're crazy, but the city pretty much shuts down when there is a little ice on the roads. I guess the thinking is better safe than sorry and we don't have the infrastructure to support a big winter storm. Granted this wasn't what I would consider a "big" storm, but it did cause very slippery conditions, therefore unsafe and we don't have salt/sand trucks (we're in San Antonio for goodness sake!). Needless to say, we were given a "snow/ice" day today, which means no school for the kids. I really don't mind too much except it means our Parent's Night Out was cancelled as well :-(. Darn you winter weather! Luckily my son's school offers 2 a month and they'll likely move this one to next Friday. Momma needs her night out without the kids :-)
Anyway, we have taken advantage of this ice day by making banana chocolate pancakes, playing tons of Wii, board games and Lego building time with Daddy. I know this will likely be the only "ice" day we get, so we're taking full advantage of it :-) Hope all of you South Texans enjoyed your day off!
