At 7:15 am, the Entertainer headed outside, and then ran right back in. "Mommy!!!!!!!!!! It's COLD outside, that means I can go play!" The Captain and the Adventurer grabbed their shoes and ran right after him, jumping up and down with excitement.
I run around the house opening every single window so we could finally let some fresh air in, my skin prickling with joy that it's not beading with sweat for the first time since the end of April.
When I go outside to tell them it was time for school, the Captain tells me, "mommy, you weren't alive 40 years ago."
"Nope. I wasn't."
"Well that was the last time it snowed in Florida. I am so excited!" He blows into his hands to keep his fingers from getting chilly.
He is still rubbing them together when we get into the van, and I giggle when I see that the temperature reading is a bone-chilling 70 degrees.
I think they've acclimated.
gillian and aedan were discussing the potential of it snowing last night as well...so sad.
ReplyDeletetonight it's supposed to be even colder (68 i think!), so get your flannels out!
It cracks me up when they walk around in their shorts and t-shirts talking about how chilly they are.
ReplyDeleteMy poor kids will never be able to survive in any climate outside the 10/20 window.
