Ahhhh.............the memories of snow in Brownwood, TX. I remember one late Winter/early Spring when it snowed in Texas. My family didn't have any "real" winter clothes in stock at home. Mom and dad bundled me up in a variety of non-waterproof items. Dad then took trash-bags and put them over my gloved hands and booted feet. He put rubber bands around my wrists and ankles...and sent me out into the snow! Ahhh....the memories!!
At the Fornes' house, we only have "winter" clothes to serve for the purpose of fashion and not function! Look closely to these pictures and you will see the following:
-Allison is wearing a summer denim hat, fluffy pink boots that are typically worn with her sweater dresses to church, and a not so warm fleece jogging suit...and no gloves.
-Ashley is wearing a hat that Mimi donated to our dress up box, black knee boots that are usually worn to church, and several not so warm shirts/pants that have been layered so they will be warmer, and a pair of non-waterproof mittens.
-Johnny built a little person snow man!!! He was so so proud of his accomplishment this morning!!
What you don't see in these pictures is that we were only outside for 7.5 minutes!! We came inside with tears streaming down our cheeks and throbbing hands!!
