Old Man Winter

I wish we had a better relationship than we do, but it has just never been right - unless I am on a ski slope. I'm talking about my relationship with Old Man Winter. My closest of friends know about this relationship. It's really sad. I do NOT like weird foods, hot drinks or cold weather. There. I said it. I have desperately tried (and failed) to NOT pass on my aversion to A LOT of foods to my children. On this same note, I have tried to hide from them my disdain of cold temperatures. Seeing as though these pictures were taken in late November in Central Texas during our first cold 'snap' (it might have been 50 degrees), I don't think I'm doing a very good job?!?
(But, oh how cute these little gloves that God Mommy sent to Haddie last year are?!? And the adorable hat that my roommate my freshman year at Baylor made for Haddie when she was born. I think it was my favorite baby gift. Still fits, too!!!)
This week Old Man Winter shows up with his good buddy Mr. Icy! Oh yes, he diiiiii-ed. Unbeknownst to Mr. Icy, the Pierces are well-equipped to handle him with our adorable rain boots from Target (pronounced in French, s'il vous plait!).
Miss Priss has been wearing her boots (maybe hers are Old Navy?!?) through rain, sleet, shine, snow, clouds, and with any outfit available since last year. But Walker & I, we got ours out for this dreary, foggy, icy week.........





















Do you want to see mine?!?

TA DA!!! (Thanks, honey, for the early V-day present! Sorry I accidentally wore them early!!!)
Mommy can pose with the best of them........

I just have to add that I really am angry with Mr. Icy!!! VERY. ANGRY. This morning he made my mom slip and hurt herself pretty badly while trying to come out to MY car to get MY daughter and give MY son some love. Slight concussion for her. Slight heart attack for me. I'm heading to Target to get her some boots tomorrow!!!

  1. I hope your sweet sweet mom is feeling better tonight. I'm sure she'll hurt tomorrow, but I hope she is on the mend. We will be praying for her and for Mr. Icy to have some compassion!!

    Love me some wellies! An absolute must have for any girl toting bags, kids, and a cute outfit!! Love them, love T-dawg.....great V-day gift!

    Sweet Hadlee and Walker..........use extremely care when picking out wellies for Grandma (I forgot what you call her) as they need to be stylish like yours!!
