Texas Winters

It's November and we are in swim suits!! I went to a baby shower and came home to these shenanigans.

We decided to make the best of that 75 degree, mosquito free day, and head to Barton Creek which was FULL of water!!  With our droughts every summer, it's hard to find the creek anything but dry, so this is a happy occasion indeed. 

So happy in fact, that we strip down to our skivvies and jump in!! 

And dance too!!

Sadie was the first to take the plunge!!

Jack needed a little coaxing but eventually surrendered.

 

Sadie is usually "Miss Prepared" and brings along all the essentials for a Cannon excursion in her pony bag.  These essentials will include band aids, binoculars, a head lamp, her pink silk money purse, and snacks.  She never skips a beat.  I'm sure she was very vexed at not having a change of clothing after her cool dip in the creek, but no worries!  Dad REALLY wanted to show off his raging muscles, so he gave her his shirt. 



George and I stayed dry and kept Jack's clothes dry too.  George was very interested in throwing rocks.  Jack was more interested in picking his nose.

This weather is why we love Texas so much.  We've entered our season of paradise!

Although some mornings it gets all the way down to 60 and Jack screams "It's freezing!!" while waiting for me to unlock the car door. 

 

However, us Texans have been shivering in our timbers.  We got a cold blast from Alaska and we had to endure a 30 degree low.  That's cold Mr. Bigglesworth!!  So cold we had to turn the heat on and wear our pajamas all day.

So cold, that instead of walking with the ladies, we went to Target and bought stuff we didn't need.

So cold I wore a hat inside and out.  The good thing is, the hat covers the greasy hair underneath. 

So cold, we pushed our fall décor aside and put up the Christmas tree.  A whole week before Thanksgiving.  We're crazy y'all! When the high is 40 outside, you deck the halls!

So cold we thought the Cottams outdoor screening of Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving would be cancelled, but it wasn't and we wore tons of layers and pulled out our Sorels from storage.

But don't you go worrying about us, because tomorrow it's going to be 80 degrees again.  We're keeping it weird, all the way down to the weather.
