Is It Really Winter?

 One reason why I love living in Texas...because sometimes we are blessed with 60-70+ degree weather!!! When it's this nice, we take full advantage and spend a lot time outdoors.  It's usually little too cold in the mornings, but once Allie is out of school we are outside enjoying the beautiful weather.  Sometimes, we have to stay in because Jack is sick. When that happened a few weeks ago, Allie helped me make snickerdoodles.  I had never made them before and a friend of my brother's had a really good and easy recipe. They are my favorite cookie...I can't believe I had never made them before.  Allie loved rolling them in the cinnamon and sugar.  She was a huge help! Jarod even liked them and he is not a fan of snickerdoodles. 
Even though the weather is nice, both kids have still been sick this winter.  Jack always seems to have a random fever and now he has a cold.  Allie caught the stomach bug and pink eye from school. We are crossing our fingers that February is as nice as January! This weather makes me ready for Spring!

This picture is actually from today...poor guy has an awful cough and now a fever to match:(

Of course, he is always ready with a smile when the camera is out!
