It's getting COLD-need more coffee anyone?

BRRRRR...I don't know what happened last night, but it is COLD. Just in time for a fun-filled weekend conference! Now, I will have to make MORE COFFEE! Because that's what we drink here in Texas when it is cold (not so much me, but everyone else). I was discussing this with a friend who is from the North and she thought it was strange that people drink more coffee here just because it was cold. But where she is from, it is cold all the time during the winter. Here, we just get it about once every 2 weeks or so?

So, I will be making coffee all weekend to keep our little Texans all warm and happy inside. Come join if you are in Tyler-we are learning how to make our lives matter and prepare for living out missions in our lives.

On the homefront, we almost have sinks to go with our granite. That's pretty exciting stuff. The sinks are there we just have to get them connected so that water doesn't leak out of the pipes. We have 90% done, and will finish off the rest this weekend, in between the coffee making!

On the Spencer front-two developments. First, i think his new favorite song is the Itsy Bitsy Spider-but mostly only the part about the sun coming out. If you have to have a favorite part in that song, I think that should be it, right? We were looking at pictures, and he kept holding his hands together making what looked like a circle (hence the sun) with his hands. And he kept pointing to the sun. So, that's my best guess...we have sung that song a few times, and it seems like that is how he always does the sun coming out. It is kind of hard to figure out what kids are doing when they are just making motions and no words. He's probably thinking, "mom, why do you keep singing that silly song, I am really just shooting you the L-oser sign. Gosh, parents just don't understand anything!"

Second, Spencer's daycare has gotten rid of the morning naps this month, and now they are ready to go play on the PLAYGROUND! Exciting stuff for a 16 month old! He loves to play outside and they have a fun playground just for the little ones, so I can only imagine how excited he is going to be when he sees it. I think I will have to sneak into his old room that has windows pointing out to the playground and watch him on Monday. Good luck getting him back in, though!
