Snow Days

Most recently we've had some pretty eventful weather here in Austin. This past Friday (and today) the temperature plummeted into the 30's and so school was canceled and a lot of businesses were closed for the day. Not Jack's though. Never ever Jack's. I'm fairly certain he'll be working when the Apocalypse rolls in but back to my story...

Since AISD shut their doors Jackson was out of commission and so James and I decided to join in on the fun and also be out of commission. Our day started off by not getting out of bed, (well except to make it, just to get back in...OCD, OCD).... 

We got bundled up and went outside for 2 seconds but decided it just wasn't worth it to even try and play in the 'snow'...

 So James decided to nap and Jackson and I decided to luxuriate in hour long showers. It was pretty awesome!

After naps we decided to bake some brownies. We were REALLY excited about this because 1) we try and stay away from too many sweets and 2) I don't know how to bake to save my life. If you know me, you know I can make absolutely any savory dish in the world but I can't bake. I try and I try and I try and it just doesn't happen. I don't know why. Maybe it's the measuring part?

Jackson and James insisted on waiting for the brownies to be done. In front of the oven. The entire 45 minutes it took for them to bake....

And guess what folks? We made some brownies AND they were delicious. SOOOO delicious in fact we ate the whole thing, but not before I took a picture...

I know this may not be impressive to you, but to me this is like I just ran a marathon or something. I can't believe it actually worked! The boys were SO impressed and SO happy that we ate the whole batch :). 

 After a beautiful and sunny (see picture below for proof) weekend we were right back to our icy beginning...

....And right back to movies in made beds, 'playing' with our toys, and luxurious hour long baths. No baking the 2nd time around though, don't want to push my luck ;)

 

 Pretty perfect snow days if you ask me. We don't get to just chill often so we take these days pretty seriously y'all ;).
