Mr. Cold Weather is moving into town and I can feel it in the way my head feels all stuffy. The thought of Mr. Cold Weather finally arriving is always fun and exciting at first. You know you can pull out all your favorite sweaters and make all my favorite cold weather foods that are meant to bulk you up for the long winter that is just around the corner. I have a love/hate relationship with Mr. Cold Weather. I can't stand to be cold, but I love hot drinks, hot soups, boots, sweaters, hot chocolate and snow. I love it all, but like I said I hate to be cold. So as I sit here listening to the wind pick up and the leaves fall from the trees I am reminded of all the warm weather fun we had. I won't go into it because as you all know it was a good summer.
Mr. Cold Weather hosts a great movie night with blankets and little ones all curled up in your lap or sleeping a little bit closer to Denis so I can keep warm. This is all fun at first because it is always fun when Mr. Cold Weather first arrives but as the months pass and there is no sign of Mr. Sunny you start to get what we all know as cabin fever. My family likes to be outside. Just tonight as the wind is picking up my girl and Denis head for the backyard to kick the ball around. So what does this mean for a family like us. Well we switch gears. Still active but we move the sport inside. Ok well kind of. We have been known to play in the garage during cold and bad rainy days. So with all this talk of Mr. Cold Weather I am still not sure I am ready for him to move into town just yet. I need more time to have the windows open. Either way I know I will be wearing my clothes that I save specifically for when Mr. Cold Weather comes to town tomorrow.
So true! I love this time when I can make soups and chilis and snuggle up under the covers to watch a movie and drink some hot drink, but I don't like being cold. :) Love you!
