It was supposed to snow in Houston yesterday. The weatherman was predicting 1-3 inches and the boys were so excited to make snowmen! But it didn't snow. We just had ice, and ice is not even half as fun as snow. The boys didn't have school, so we tried to stay warm and enjoy our "ice day" at home. 
Unfortunately for us, ice day was our fourth day in a row stuck at home and the boys were getting antsy! We've been reading books and doing crafts and puzzles and watching movies. Yesterday, Will and I drank hot chocolate and played addition war by the fire while Henry napped and Gene worked. 
By the evening, Henry had had enough of being inside and he was heading to the closet to get his coat and shoes. These boys insisted on playing outside, despite the freezing temps! So we bundled them up and let them run loose for a little bit.

Will went on an ice hunt, and found ice in the sand table
and in the troughs of the playhouse (notice the icicles hanging from the eaves?).
Henry was just thrilled to finally be feeling better and he loved being outside again. 
Will brought me an ice crystal "to add to my collection."
When we explained the ice crystal would just melt, Will found some leaves for my collection instead. 
We finally convinced everyone to come inside and I got lots of cold kisses from my littlest boy. 
And then it was into a warm bath and cozy, fleecy, footed jammies for the little guys. 
How did you spend "ice day?"
