The Highs and Lows for the Week

Really the highs and lows of the weather. We had a pretty crazy week of weather in Houston this week. I am learning that a Houston winter is like spring in Chicago. You get days of warm, sunny weather and days of cold, rainy weather. We are trying to make the best of it all though! Monday was the only warm day of the week, so we spent it outside of course. Harrison loves to be outside and finds lots to do. We love the park, walks and our backyard.

Then it got colder on Tuesday so we tried to stay busy and have fun inside. We played a lot with race cars and read a lot of books. Harrison loves to play monsters too. We went to the mall playground and got to play with friends.
On Wednesday we go to the library in the morning and Harrison got to make a snowflake necklace.
Wednesday was weird because they did rolling power outages throughout the day. So about every 3 hours for 20 minutes or so we lost all power! Guess our stay inside and watch movies day will have to wait! Instead, we will just have to do funny things with our foods! I don't even know how he came up with sticking ham to his face, but he did it all by himself and he loved it.


Thursday we found out it might snow here on Friday! That actually sounded really exciting so we got a lot done on Thursday so we could stay home and hopefully play in the snow on Friday. We were starting to get a little stir crazy...
Harrison was playing with Jeff on Thursday night when I heard some laughing and then they called me to come. I walked into the laundry room and found this little present in the dryer!

At first, I laughed. I thought it was funny (and Jeff was right there next to him!) Then when we got him out, he wanted to stay in and tried climbing in himself. Although he can't close the door on himself, I still don't want him climbing in by himself, so since Daddy showed him how...Daddy got to lay down the rules of the dryer.

Then on Friday we woke up to...NO SNOW! We were not very happy! I was hoping to finally be able to get outside and do something fun. Harrison loves the snow. And Dillan even got the day off work (they closed the Day Care). But since we didn't have snow, we settled for decorating Valentines Day cookies. This was my first attempt to have a helper. It actually was a lot of fun and he didn't eat too many cookies. He did lick his knife, so he got his own knife and frosting. He ate his heart cookie the minute I put it in front of him, but then got the hang of it and frosted a second cookie.

Loves frosting the knife and then putting it in his mouth!

Saturday started out cold, but we needed to get out so I took Harrison on my morning run. We made it about 20 minutes before the poor boy could hardly feel his hands, but it felt good to get out. So, we spent the rest of the day in our PJs and played at home.
Sunday morning we got up, had breakfast and read the paper before heading to church.

All in all it was a great week! I am just so glad we live in a place that only had cold days and not cold seasons. We love to be outside soaking up the sun. We are excited to get back out next week and see what new adventures we can find!
