Coldness Arrives!

Well we made it through October and halfway through November before mother nature decided to lash us with some serious coldness. A cold front moved into the Dallas area yesterday, causing me to go digging in the "boys closet" for their winter gear. Early this morning I dressed Cody in a long sleeve pullover sweatshirt. Those long sleeves clearly mess with his mojo! He instantly started walking around just like I picture a scarecrow would walk, if a scarecrow could walk that is. When wearing long sleeves Cody doesn't bend at all. Every move he makes is done as if he has sticks for limbs. Upon seeing him take a few steps after getting dressed, I immediately busted out laughing. Oh Cody, what would we do without your unique ways! LOL!

Brad is currently at a tennis match this morning. He is playing in a tournament, so who knows how many matches he'll end up playing this weekend? I think it takes 4 match wins to win the entire tournament over the course of today and tomorrow. Tennis tournament mornings are definitely more stressful than any other mornings. It's a huge balancing act for me. Making sure the pets are taken care of as well as things are done for Brad so he can get out the door on time. And how many times has Brad been fully ready to walk out the door then turn to me to ask if I can look up the address real quick? Um, TOO MANY times! I now consider mapping his route part of the pre-match ritual! There I was this morning plugging in the tournament site's address into his WAZE app on his phone. If anyone out there needs a good app for driving directions WAZE is a great one! Just remember to completely shut down the app after you've arrived at your destination, otherwise it will KILL your phone's battery. Brad learned that the hard way!

So what's on tap for my Saturday? Laundry and household stuff, as well as planning out my turkey day shopping list. Can you believe turkey day is so near? The month of November seemed to be going by at a normal speed for us then all of a sudden in the blink of an eye it's nearly Thanksgiving. Quite a lot has been going on in Brad's family, which is likely why turkey day has suddenly snuck up on us. It appears the coldness has arrived just in time for Thanksgiving. Perfect because, I definitely prefer a somewhat chilly Thanksgiving day.
