Texas Snow Day means never getting out of Pajamas

On Friday the city shut down for a snow day that wasn't. Collin peered out the window upon waking for the promised snow, but the weather forecasters were wrong and we had only ice. Since the winter photo opportunity did not materialize, we decided there was no reason to get out of our pajamas for the course of the weekend.
Poor Fergie was the only one who wanted to be outside in the freezing weather, but she couldn't find anyone interested in joining her in the backyard for a game of fetch.
He looks deceptively comfortable here laid back on the couch. I was actually trying to remove a splinter from his foot and gave him the phone as a distraction. Can you see his little tear? He was not a fan of the splinter removal process.
Saturday morning involved rummaging through every toy in the basket.
Finally the weather turned on Sunday. And it was BEAUTIFUL - 72 degrees and sunny. Collin paraded up and down our driveway.

He waved as cars would pass by -


And explored some dirt - When we headed back inside, I gave him a homemade morning glory muffin with carrots, apples, walnuts, etc for an afternoon snack. Delicious, healthy, and this was the look I got for my efforts -
This morning we're eating breakfast and I ask him, "Where is Collin's hair?" He touches his hand to the top of his head. Cheering, then ask, "Where is Mommy's hair?" I bend my head down and he grabs my hair. Cheering and reveling that my child is a genius. Next, "Collin, where is your nose?" And he puts his hands on top of his head. Okay, maybe we're not quite there yet!
