No Bobtails, No Frosty, No One Horse Open Sleigh

Today, we have been basking in the sun... I think I got a sunburn. It is 72 degrees outside.  Yes, you heard me right.  S E V E N T Y  

T W O  D E G R E E S, people.   If you haven't

checked your calendar today, it happens to be December 19th.  I guess that is the beauty of living in the South.  I wonder what kind of weather our Western home  is having.  I bet it isn't 72 degrees.

So today, after Stella's school Christmas party; we played outside.

Isaac was in heaven. Outside, eating Oreos; what more could a kid ask for? When I mentioned that we would play outside,  he almost couldn't eat his lunch; I spoke to soon.  Sometimes I forget that he is beginning to understand what I am saying.

Stella requested a walk to pick up rocks, so we did that too.  Not just any rocks, but large ones.  Large enough for her dad to throw while deer hunting. " Mom, these are big enough that they will knock the deer down right?"  I guess she thinks that he is how he hunts, with large stones.  Who needs a rifle?  Why did we spend all that money for a new gun?  Stella is giving you rocks for Christmas.

It was a great afternoon.  The sunshine makes me happy.
