{one} It SNOWED in Texas yesterday! We don't see much snow here and typically if we do, it comes later in the year. Unfortunately, yesterday's snow was really wet since temps hovered around 34* so there was no playing in the snow for us. I did snap a few pictures though.

{two} Jack didn't get out of his jammies all weekend! I did at least put clean jammies on him everyday, even though you can't tell from these pictures! HA! He loved playing in my boots!
His poor skin does not do good in this cold weather.
His cheeks are so dry and chapped.
{three} What are your favorite baby shower games? What are your favorite foods to serve when hosting a shower? I need ideas, please! I'm helping host a baby shower for my step-sister in a few weeks and we're wanting to have light hor d'oeuvres and a few ice breaker games since most of the girls coming will not know each other very well. Nothing too hokey though.

{five} I saw the "Pay it Forward" pledge the other day on Summer's blog and couldn't help but play along. It sounds like fun and who doesn't love to get a little happy in the mail from time to time!

re: baby shower, the only game i actually don't mind is baby bingo- noboby gets embarassed and it makes time pass as gifts get open (as they open the gifts, people check off the bingo card)
Darn, just missed your fabulous deal. I am a Texas girl, just temporarily relocated, and I can't believe it snowed there yesterday, how fun :)
As for baby shower ideas, I like to forego the 'smell what nasty melted candy bar is in the diaper' game for some others. I hosted a baby shower where I downloaded every song with "Baby" in the title (i.e. "Baby One More Time" - Britney Spears, "Baby, Baby" - Amy Grant, "Baby Got Back" - Sir Mix a Lot) and played a snippet of it and had people write down the title if they knew. The most correct titles won. Something different :)
Happy Magical Monday!

Your snow images are beautiful! I lived in Tx for a little over a year and never saw snow:(
Look at lil man in those boots, too precious!
I hope your day is great,
Daph
Congrats on reaching 300! Your blog is too cute not to follow :)
Also, I've seen that Pay it Forward thing going around Facebook too. I'd never be able to participate, as I am so not crafty - ha!
I am a new follower! Feel free to check out my blog.

Poor Jack's little red cheeks :( Ellie has the same dry skin on her face.
I love to serve dips at showers. You can serve spinach-artichoke dip, buffalo chicken dip (google it, it's aMAZing!) and a variety of deserty dips like caramel with apples, or chocolate chip cream cheese dip!
Snow??!!! What snow!! We got Nothin'. I wouldn't mind a snow day though; a vacation sounds great.
That is one boot wearin' baby. Too cute.
So fun that you got a little 'glimpse' of snow. I can't say the same here in NY. We are gearing up for another big storm tomorrow :) Love Jack in your boots. It always cracks me up when kids to that. And what a great 'Pay it Forward' idea. Sounds like fun :)
