Beautiful Day!

Wow, it was such a nice day today!  I fully intended to post about us putting up Christmas decorations today but I think I'm just going to brag a little bit about the seventy degree temperatures, blue skies, and white puffy clouds!  It was, in my opinion, perfect weather!  I've always said that the fall is my favorite season because I love the jeans and sweatshirt 'uniform' that I can wear.  However, Peter is not a huge fan of sweatshirts.  He doesn't own any and makes fun of me when I slip on my favorite hoodies.  So, in the last couple years, my sweatshirt collection has dwindled.  I still own several that come out when it's freezing in our house but I don't often leave home in one.  Thanks for helping my confidence, honey!  The kids and Peter played in the backyard while I made a quick trip to Joann.  They're having a $1.99 pattern sale (McCall's and Simplicity for those that are interested) so I grabbed a couple that I'm using to make a few Christmas presents.  I can't mention what those might be since I never know who might be reading this blog.  There's little chance that the recipients of the gifts are reading but maybe they'll get a wild hair and read my ramblings!
Here's a picture of the kids playing well together!  Peter said that they were so good and that Charlotte was following Alexander around, trying everything that he did.  It makes me happy when they get along!
