Ice Storm

Thanksgiving Day the weather was not very good, but it just kept getting worse! The next two days an ice storm came through and covered everything. The freezing rain, wind and dropping temperatures made sure to put a thick coat of ice on anything left outside! We were blessed because the power never went out at our house and were able to stay nice and warm. There were some people without power for 3 days!! I'm so glad that was not us. Kenney had to work both Friday and Saturday and thankfully he does not have a long commute. However, we were unable to go spend time with the family on Friday, but the roads were safe enough on Saturday we spent most of the day hanging out before everyone went their separate ways.

Being stuck inside all day causes some crazy to come out in these boys!!

Everyone's trees and other plants looked so bad and were so weighted down by the ice!!  There were broken branches everywhere.  Our house didn't have any thanks to Kenney's Uncle Richie who had just trimmed all of our trees!

This was before the icicles got big!

The branches were almost touching the ground, but nothing broke.

Ice, ice everywhere!

I have no idea why they wanted to play out in this, but I didn't have our winter clothes at the house so it didn't last long.  Now that I have since brought them to our house I'm sure there will be no more snow or ice this year!!

Radley didn't get too involved.

Our plants were still green because the day before this ice storm blew in it was 74 degrees outside.  Crazy Texas weather.

That's a lot of ice.  There was at least 2 inches covering everything.

Here is video of the boys in their crazy costumes. I'm not sure was inspired these looks, but they had a lot of fun!

The skinny legs are just too appropriate!
