Day 36-Do You Want to Build a Snow Man?

Howdy!

        This post is coming to you early, why? BECAUSE CLASS IS CANCELLED BECAUSE OF THE ICE! Woo! I still have class at 2...but I can handle that! So I was filling out my calendar for the month and I didn't realize how jam packed this month is going to be!! Between spring break and the Houston Rodeo and The Big Event (It's an A&M thing, you should look it up and find out more!) I do not have an open weekend!! Which is great! It beats doing nothing and being bored all weekend! Super exciting stuff!

Memory #36

                  In my lifetime I have only got to leave school early once. When I was a sophomore in high school it started to 'Texas Snow' and then someone pulled the fire alarm so the administrators decided to cut us, hooligans, loose to our parents. My mom couldn't pick Sam and I up because at this time she was an elementary teacher and had to run parent pick up (or whatever it is teachers do at the end of the day). So our neighbor picked us up and dropped us off at our house. I remember as soon as we got home we ran out into the backyard and built a 'snowman' or whatever you want to call this blob of ice. (Look how cute Sammy is!)

          Then after we built our glorious creation, we went inside and made chocolate chip cookies and eagerly waited for our mom to come home so we could show her 'Paco' (I think that's what we ended up naming him). Even though I was in high school and Sam was in middle school we were still the type of kids to get really excited about showing things to our mom. When she did finally get home I remember basically dragging her outside so that she could witness our most beautiful statue (We were also afraid he was about to melt...Yay Texas) I remember her laughing and telling us how wonderful it was. Then we all went back inside, Sam and I finished the cookies and mom made hot chocolate. Then we all gathered onto her bed, snuggled under a blanket and watched movies for the rest of the day. It was perfect.

Love Always,
