November Weather.

The weather has been unseasonably warm this year and we've been enjoying every minute of it. Playing outside with no shoes. Running around in our pajamas without a coat. It feels so much more like September or early October than November. It's been wonderful. 

And, then it snowed. Austin was entranced. Lydia wasn't convinced that she couldn't go out in her bare feet anyway. The snow melted pretty quickly, and although I know that I can't keep winter at bay forever - I'm hoping for a mild winter this year. All summer long, when it was really hot outside, Lydia would say "It's too hot, I want it to be Winter!" Inwardly I'd always think "Noooo! We like the warmth much more than winter!" I had to laugh when we were walking to a neighbors house the other day and it was pretty chilly outside and she said "When is it going to be summer again? It's so cold!" and followed it up with "I should have chosen to ride in the car!" (Instead of walking). Turns out that both Lydia and her Mama prefer to just be the perfect temperature (not too hot, not too cold). 

I'll just count my blessings that it was so warm for so long! I guess it's time to buckle down for Winter to really hit. Hello winter, we'll miss your good friend Fall. Please be good to us!
