I've lived in Austin coming up on 18 years now and I have NEVER seen weather so bipolar!
The huge range of temperatures is totally normal; 29 today, 50 tomorrow and close to 80 by the weekend. But this ice business is seriously for the birds.
School has been cancelled at least three times. I had to drive in the Ice Apocalypse to go to work, because let me tell you, surgical patients are like mailmen; Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these people from their elective plastic and back surgeries.

Cedar Fever season coupled with this rapid cycling weather has also done a number on the kids with allergies/colds that progress into ear infections and sinus infections.
They've both had one round of antibiotics since Christmas, and I think they are currently working their way toward another round each.

So, we have found ourselves iced in/quarantined a few times here recently and the kids did pretty well with quelling their pent up energy.

One of the days Bubby stayed home sick, the Shriner's Circus had just come to town and they put on an "Elephant Brunch" for the kids.
Bubby, who recently has become OBSESSED with elephants, had to go.

He loved seeing them so much, we decided to take them to the circus.
Yes, all you tree huggers in Austin, I am with you.
I am not a big fan of the circus because of animal mistreatment and exploitation.
But, your 3 and 5 year olds want to see elephants, you see elephants.
Don't you worry, we will not be patrons any time in the near future.
I was very disappointed in the CONSTANT peddling of cotton candy, snow cones and light up crap.
It was very distracting and too tempting for the little ones.
Not going to lie, I really hoped the tigers would go all Siegfried and Roy on their trainer. I was shocked to see that they actually still hit them with whips. :-(

Same with the camels.
Favorite moments:
Elephants and $5 cotton candy.
