Cooler Days are on Their Way...

The kids have been making comments about how Christmas is coming. They keep asking when we are going to put the tree up.

Yes, we live in Texas, and yes, people here do seem afraid of the cold. I grew up in New England. When I first saw the signs that said "Freeze Warning" on them, I really had a good laugh.

But, alright. I did have to stop writing this and bring in the few surviving plants I have outside, since tonight might be a "Frost Advisory" night.

Anyhow, I'm writing this mainly to show you these pictures. A week ago, we decided to enjoy the last remaining 60 degree evenings.

Reema's version of the Statue of Liberty. More like the Statue of Disco.


We have a swing on the patio. The kids decided to get snugly.


And then they actually fell asleep.


Nighty night.
