Happy Fall..or is it Winter?

As I lay in bed Saturday morning, I hear little footsteps downstairs in the living room. Two little people up for the day, watching Saturday morning cartoons.... oh how I loved Saturday morning cartoons.... Bode and Avery are awake - Bobby is duck hunting - little Laney is still asleep next to me.... I'd better get up I say to myself - so I do. I peek outside through the window to see what the weather is like -- it has been sooooo cold lately -- NOT what I like! To my surprise, there is snow -- YIKES -- I am not ready for snow....but I must admit, it does look pretty!

I go downstairs and only Bode is in the living room. "Where is Avery?" I ask. "Oh - she went downstairs to get our snowpants!" Bode says. Just as I go into the front entry to go rescue Avery from the depths of the basement - here she is carrying 2 sets of snowpants. One for herself and one for her brother. THEY ARE EXCITED!! Avery and I go back downstairs to get Dalaney's snowpants and come up to an awakened Dalaney.

Right away, all 3 kiddos climb into their snowgear (their snowboots were still in the depths of the basement -- I rescued them later -- NO TIME for that now! They needed to get outside! Rainboots worked just fine). They were still in their pjs! Lazy Saturday Morning! Then they ventured into the newly snow-covered outdoors!

Oh ~ they had FUN!!!

I wish I would love the snow as much as they did! All I could see is the snow covering the leaves covering everything and thinking - oh no - I am going to have leaves tracked in my house ALL.WINTER.LONG. ugg..... Oh well - the snow is only temporary... for now...we might as well make frozen leaf angels!

and come inside and drink HOT CHOCOLATE!

So.... from our family to yours.... Happy Fall - um, I mean Winter...

Love.....Mona
