It is cold outside. I mean COLD!! And to think it is only November 2nd. I have at least 5 more months of this to look forward to.
Now don't get me wrong. I love the cold weather. The trees are gorgeous. Orange, Red, Yellow... provided they still have leaves. I look forward to seeing my little guys out in the snow this winter. I like wearing sweaters and warm clothing. I love heating water up at night for cocoa or cider. And fall is the perfect time to catch up on all that baking. The neighbors keep telling me, it is great for catching up on all those household projects you've been meaning to get to all summer as well.
The tough part is convincing my kids that wearing layers of clothing is a good thing. That keeping any clothes on for Nicholas is fairly important. That going outside when it is cold, windy and rainy isn't a reality. That colds will probably occur more often now.
As we all begin to recover from our various colds, I've become nostalgic for Texas weather and friends. I long for friends that I could call in the morning and get together with an hour later. I liked the ability to have just one season of clothes for a main wardrobe with a few winter clothes thrown in.
But cuddling under blankets with my 2 warm and snuggly children definately is worth the cold.

It's getting chilly-ish here. We miss you too!
I think that I would love to live somewhere again that we could reliably get snow, but then I remember that it is nice to not need coats, gloves, mittens, etc, on a regular basis.
