Baby, It's Cold Outside!!

What is going on with this weather?! I was pretty sure I lived in Texas, so this is just ridiculous! I am so ready for summer (I'd say Spring, but TX doesn't really have one) to get here. Today is day 4 of this terrible ice/snow storm that is crippling half of the country. And in Texas, we just don't handle this stuff very well, so everything pretty much just shuts down and people freak out. Since I'm on maternity leave, I'm not really affected by our office shutting down for four days in a row (which is kind of a record, I think). It's busy season, and the work still has to get done, so I guess everyone is just working from home and being thankful for our new eAudit world. :) Most school districts have been closed for four days as well, which usually means that our daycare shuts down as well. Needless to say, I have had plenty of Mommy-time with my boys all week. :) We have played with every toy in the house, watched a few movies, and just laid around! I can't bring myself to take Austin out in the snow to play today. It's like 20 degrees and really windy, and I just don't want him to get sick.

My sis is a teacher in Frisco and her school was canceled too, so her and Logan came out Tuesday night and stayed with us until Thursday at lunch. I welcomed them with open arms; I am getting so stir crazy in this house! On Wednesday afternoon, we were going to go to Chuck E. Cheese to let Austin run off some energy. However, they closed early because of the weather. Hmmmm.....what to do now. We ventured up the road to Shenaniganz, which is kinda like a Main Event. We all played games in the arcade, did some bowling, and had dinner. It was a blast, and Austin enjoyed himself alot!The cold weather has obviously brought Austin and Chase closer. Austin is being a great big brother! His favorite tasks include: shaking up the water & formula in a bottle for me, putting the dirty bottles in the sink, bringing me diapers to change Chase, giving Chase kisses, and putting his blankets on Chase to keep him warm. Watching the two of them just absolutely warms my heart! I can't wait til Chase can actually interact with Austin. And I can't believe that Chase is four weeks old today! Time is flying by too fast. :(On a side note, Jordan and I are getting to go out on a date tomorrow night! Our nephew's 5th birthday party is tomorrow afternoon, and then Jordan's parents are watching Austin and Chase for a few hours for us to go to Studio Movie Grill to see 'No Strings Attached'. So excited for some Mommy & Daddy time! :)
