I Promise it's Still Winter.

There's an old saying I'm sure gets used many places (especially in Texas): "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes...!"



Well, over the past few weeks, it's been back and forth between hot and cold temps. By the time we get comfortable with the "perfect" weather, a cold snap blows thru (usually following a good rain) giving Carter and Mommy a case of the sniffles, runny noses and so on...



Today was one of the better days. In my opinion, it was about perfect --- 70 degrees, partly cloudy, slightly windy. The pictures speak for themselves...


Yes, as a matter of fact, we did stay in our jammies all day.









I think this one looks like the kids are all fighting over who gets to climb the slide first. LOL!!








The girls enjoyed the see-saw (a.k.a teeter totter)








The trampoline (I finally found something positive to the net being "broken" - Never before have I gotten good jump action pictures - But, I'm still upset with the yard guys, don't they do that for a living? Shouldn't they know how to move a trampoline without pulling it apart?)








Carter had plenty of toys to keep him occupied.






The puppy (okay, he's 8, but he's still little like a puppy) relaxed under my chair. Not too different from where he'd be if we were inside.








And Mommy? Well, I started on a new book.







I finally caved. After hearing about it EVERYWHERE, blogland, facebook, friends, family, television, I bought THE book. It's been sitting on the shelf in the study since sometime before Christmas and I decided I could take it no longer. I had to see what the fuss was about.



I get it.

  3. No, I haven't read the whole book yet - remember I have three kids. And they were all pulling for my attention while I was trying to read. I actually put the book down to run around and play with them.

    Yes, please call me for a play date this week. I could use the adult time...uh, I mean, I think Carter would really enjoy hanging with your 'little' man. And of course the girls would love to see you.
