So when there's a winter storm warning with lots of ice and freezing rain and temps, you go toward it right? Well apparently, we do. We checked weather.com before leaving for the Dallas/Plano area and saw that it would be cold, so we packed up some winter clothes and big coats. But we get there and there's all these ice warnings. Unsafe conditions, etc. Pretty funny that we would go toward that. But I did enjoy the cold, but it would have been alot easier to handle without all the ice cold rain. And out of all that, no snow. But we still got out and about on Saturday. We went do some shopping and yes I made it to the scrapbook store. Such a cool place. I think I've talked about it before. It's got all these buckets in the store with individual chipboard, playing cards, brads, eyelets, stickers, buttons. All kinds of things. That way you can buy just 1 or 2 if that's all you need. So very cool!
So to sum up our trip: Good family. Good food. Good shopping. Good football. (Yes peeps, the Saints are one win away from the Superbowl!) Good times! Thanks Jenny & Ali! We left a little earlier than planned because the conditions were supposed to get worse during the day yesterday. We left at a chilly 31 degrees, drove home for 6 hours to 71 degree weather. But that same cold is heading it's way over here today.
And apparently the rule is that once you get one kid better, the other must get sick. After fighting with Payton's yucky bug for almost 3 weeks, Cameron is now sick again with fever. As much as I love the cold, I'm thinking that Spring needs to get here, and quick. We've basically been sick this entire winter, thus far. Luckily there was no schoool today for MLK day.
Happy Monday to you all!

Glad to hear your weekend was good regardless of the less than perfect weather. =) And that scrap store.. seriously, someone is a genius!
i so hear you on the kiddos.
we have been in a sick slump for
a little over a week now, & it feels like
FOREVER.
so cool you got to hit the scrap store.
:)
ahhh, the scrap store sounds lovely! i hope Cameron gets better soon, sheesh i am so sick of someone always having some sort of bug in our house too! so good you guys didn't get into too bad of weather, that weather map is just crazy! i can't believe it gets that cold in Texas, although Gary's sister & her family live in Oklahoma and they get colder weather than MI sometimes. just crazy!! i like that you included a weather map/satellite picutre in this weather post!!!
i still have the bug. four weeks now. but seeing the MD tomorrow...or rather the FNP (family nurse practitioner). i'm thinking, but don't want to, that it might be walking pneumonia. go figure.
amber, sounds like you had a great time.. lucky for you the scrapstore was inside!!weren't you just in heaven? sorry to hear you've got a bug in your house again... NO fun at all!
are you gearing up for some football?
what a bummer about the weather and all.
no fun.
what sounds fun is that scrap store though.
individual goodies...great idea.
hope things start brightening up soon.
