Snowed In

Well,  minus the snow.  Today we are all inside and keeping warm.  Houstonians don't really know what to do when the temps go below freezing for too long at a time.  Yesterday and today the weathermen called for snow.  We all waited with eager anticipation for this magical white stuff to fall from the sky.  Would we make a snow angel?  Build a snow man?  Have a snow ball fight in the yard?  Gosh, what do you do with all the mounds of snow we would be getting?!?!  They predicted 3- 6 inches in our area alone!  You know what I saw when I got up this morning?  Nothing!  No snow, no falling white stuff, nada, zip, zilch, zero.  *Sigh*  A day in the life of Houston weather - its just unpredictable.  Actually, I guess it is predictable in that if the weather man says something will happen then you can expect the opposite.    So now, what to do with a little boy that is about to wake up and ask to play in the snow?  Shall we cut snowflakes out of construction paper?  Watch a movie that has snow in it?  Or just hope he forgets we ever mentioned the stuff?
