We love the weather!

Wow! I woke up this morning not really noticing a difference in the weather until I opened the door as Josue was leaving for work. It was chilly. Our thermostat in the house read 72 degrees, which I haven't seen in months. The change in temperature was exciting because it meant looking at some different clothes. The kids would definitely need pants for the morning.

Once they woke up, I told them how it was cool outside. Somehow Tabitha found her hat (did she understand what I was telling them?) which meant Joshua needed his as well. They had breakfast and then Buela came to look after them while I ran an errand. They enjoyed some time on the back patio sporting their hats.

I already decided that when I got home I was going to take them to the park. They needed to burn some energy, especially Joshua. The day before he didn't take a nap. That boy was in his room for two hours and never napped! I went to check on him occasionally and found him in his bed each time. At the end of two hours I decided I would just let him out, but when I went in, he had dark circles under his eyes. I knew that it could mean a difficult evening if he didn't nap, so I laid down with him and he fell asleep in less than 5 minutes. It was 4 P.M. so I let him sleep until 5 P.M. or else the same problem would occur at bedtime. Okay...so we were going to the park to burn some energy. It was absolutely gorgeous. Tabitha went down the slide a few times...Check out her hair!

Joshua wanted his hair to do the same thing. So this picture is for him. If you strain your eyes, you can see his hair standing on end. (Look at his shadow on the slide, and you can see spikes.)

We came home to eat lunch, and yes, he took a nap. Yea!

This evening, we ate chili dogs for dinner. Get it, chili? He can tear them up.

Then we headed off to church. Since it was evening, I told him he could chose one of his new shirts. These are the long sleeve shirts hanging in his closet that he is so anxiously waiting to wear. He wanted to wear the blue Thomas shirt. Tabitha just wears whatever. I know this will not last long. For one thing, I already see how Joshua likes to pick out his clothes, and for another, she is a girl. Here she is sporting some of her clothes. She was hiding under a table at church having a great time!

We can't wait to enjoy the weather tomorrow! BTW-anyone have any great fall soup recipes?
