Ok, so I totally understand the fact that Texas has crazy weather, and that it's constantly changing, but this weekend was definitely something else!!! For those of you living in the DFW area, you know what I mean! Those of you who don't, probably have absolutely NO clue what I'm talking about, so here's the dealio-bop:
Yeterday, it was unusually hot, and we were literally outside in our swimsuits! Nick and Savannah put on a "bike and scooter wash/lemonade stand" for all of the neighbor kids (not that we have very many kids in our neighborhood...) to make money for their "Big-Foot (as in the legendary creature.....not big feet!) Club**" ......whatever that is! They were in their swimsuits and spraying each other with the hose while waiting for customers! Oh, and did I mention that it's the end of FEBRUARY…actually, its the first day of MARCH?!?!?! Yeah.......weird, right?!?! So anyways, business was slow for them (only two customers in two or three hours) and my dad, feeling bad for them came outside and offered to pay us to wash my mom's car. The "cha-ching!" alarm went off in my head when I heard that there was a money opportunity! I just couldn't resist! (have I mentioned that almost a year after buying my camera, I am STILL having financial issues?!?! Yup. I'm still pretty much broke!) So I got in my swimsuit, put my hair up in a pony-tail, went outside and washed the car. It was a BLAST!!! I was soaking with sweat (cuz it was REALLY hot outside) and soapy water by the time we were done!
Today, less than 24 hours since I was outside in my swimsuit, I'm all bundled up sitting by the fireplace and trying to get warm. Yeah.......oh, and did I mention that it's snowing outside? I didn't? Oh, my bad! Well, anyways it's snowing, I'm cold, I can't believe it's snowing, I'm cold, I'm COLD, and I'm really really COLD because it's SNOWING outside!!! Oh well. I guess I shouldn't be complaining......after all, it's nice to have some cold weather for a change (Texan winters aren't that cold......wait, let me take that back.......to Texans, winter is freezing! But when the peeps up north compare a Texan winter to northern winter, the Texan one is probably like a tropical paradise!).
Anyways.....stay warm! Lets hope winter will finally decide whether or not it's still here!

**side story about the "Big-Foot Club"(had to share this cuz it made me laugh!):
So, just out of curiosity, I asked Savannah what they were raising money for with their bike and scooter wash/lemonade stand. She said that it was for the "Big-Foot Club." So then I asked why they needed money for their club. She looked at me like I was crazy and dumb and said, "To buy weapons!"(they think that they're gonna find Big-Foot and capture him. After that, who knows what they're gonna do with him!) (and also just so you know, they are definitely NOT allowed to buy weapons, but what can you do?!?! You gotta let 'em dream!) Being the annoying "big-sis" that I am, and sorta wanting to give Savannah a hard time (cuz what big sis doesn't?!?!), I said, "What kind of weapons?" "It doesn't matter." "No really.....I want to know!" "I said it doesn't matter!" I could tell she was getting annoyed, and at that point, what big-sis doesn't wanna keep going?!?! So I kept going. "Oh....ok. So how and where are you going to get weapons?" "It doesn't matter! Ok? Me and Nick have a plan and it doesn't concern you!" "Oh....ok." Now she was even more annoyed! So, once again, I kept on going. I know that wasn't the right thing to do, but I was having a GREAT time bugging her......hehe! When she started walking away, I said, "Wait! I have more questions!" "Just stop Madi! Go away! You're really annoying me!" Perfect! All of you older sisters reading this know the feeling.....and it's pure awesomeness! "But Savannah.....how are you even going to find him?" "Madi! I told you! Me and Nick have it all worked out!" "Ok, but just so you know, you need a permit to buy weapons, so I don't think you're plan will work." After I said that, she turned around angrily and said, "MADI!!! STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST GO AWAY AND LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!" Then she stomped off really mad. Ok, fine.......I took it a little to far......ok, fine, WAY too far, but what can I say? Isn't that what big sisters are for? ;)
