November? Are you sure?

Wow. It's freaking November. Saturday was so nice that it almost didn't seem like it was Fall. Then Sunday comes, with the storms and the rain. But Sunday also brought daylight savings. Which is good and also not so good. It meant an extra hour of sleep, even though Hayley tried to get us up at the normal time. With that extra hour and we were still almost late to church! Honestly, I think it'll be easier when church is at 9 am instead of 1 pm so that we can just get up and get it over with. Then nap time might actually happen on a Sunday. I know I'll be cursing those early Sunday mornings when they actually happen, but now they are a golden fantasy where we get home from church at noon and everyone takes a family nap and we have party hogies for lunch! I don't know where these hogies come from, but they are a wonderful part of this dream.

It's going to snow soon, and while Magen will curse me for using the "S" word, it's true, it happens every year. We were lucky to have a warm Halloween, but we can only be lucky so long, and the longer the cold weather waits, the longer it will last into our spring. That's always the way it goes. We don't get any less winter for wishing, and I for one would rather have snow in December than April!
