I love this time of the year! It has always been my favorite. Enduring the Texas heat all summer long makes me appreciate the slightest temperature dip. We are experiencing cool nights (60's) and pleasant days (80's). The jeans and long sleeves are finding their way out of closets and drawers and it is wonderful.
Madison and McKenzie had a "sleepover" in the living room last night in front of the TV. They made a giant bed for themselves on the floor and stayed up late watching The Game Plan. I woke up at 2:30 this morning to go to the bathroom and found them sound asleep and the TV on. Thankfully, the national anthem wasn't playing, which would have totally freaked me out and we would have prayed together until dawn or something. It was a very sweet scene.
This morning we drove up the street to Grace Presbyterian Church to explore the pumpkin patch. McKenzie picked out a pumpkin for Morgan that is super small. Then she found one for herself that is slightly larger. Madison found just the right size for her own pumpkin. I don't know that we'll actually carve these. Aunt Lisa and Karen came over last Sunday afternoon to carve a giant pumpkin with them. Maybe we will paint the ones we bought this morning. I am very excited about Halloween this year since I will be able to take the girls trick or treating for the first time in two years. The costumes have been selected and neighborhood plans are being made for a pre trick-or-treating party down the street. I am so blessed. My children make my world a much better place.
At the moment, McKenzie and Morgan are napping while Madison eats a bowl of soup. FYI, Madison loves soup year round, regardless of the temperature. We will go to a birthday party later this afternoon at a local park where there will be a clown. It could go either way with the clown, but I am hoping for the best. I hope you enjoy your day!
