What just happened here?

Okay, what happened to those nice cool temps we all crave after the heat of summer? We have officially hit the season in Nebraska we like to call "Almost Winter." For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the seasons in Nebraska they are: Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter, and Hot as Hell. Really though, this year is flying by. It seems like just last week the kids went back to school.


The kids keep asking me when it's going to snow. I'm hoping we'll see snow on...Christmas Eve? After that, there's really no need for it without mountains, right? I must admit though, these cold temps and that smell of winter just around the corner get me in the holiday spirit. The kids already talked me into watching "The Grinch that Stole Christmas." Okay, it may have been my idea. I can't help it. Don't you just love the holidays!!!!


It really does seem like summer and "fall" were gone in the blink of an eye. It sure was fun to watch Aiden and Avery play soccer. Aiden is so funny when he scores a goal- he looks at us and gives us 2 thumbs up. And, of course, when the other team scores we get the thumbs down to go along with it. I know, so cute and so inappropriate at the same time.




Avery is our little gymnast. She absolutely loves gymnastics. We had to take some time off with all the traveling that comes with the season. We're going down to K.C. for Thanksgiving and to Disneyworld in December- I honestly don't know if she can wait until after the holidays. It is so neat to see your child so passionate about something. She's our little monkey.
