The boys have been extremely disappointed to learn that living in America does not automatically mean snowy winter days. In fact, winter in Texas is often just like winter in the Tropics - rainy and hot. :) But God has been gracious to my little men and we have had an usually cool fall in Texas... with a few 90 degree weeks here and there. :)
Elijah's science experiment for the past few weeks has been to leave cups of water outside at night to see if the temperatures drop down to freezing. Finally, finally, after many disappointing mornings, he was thrilled to discover solid ice yesterday.
And yes, he may or may not be outside in 33 degree weather with flip flops and pajamas on. Once a jungle boy, always a jungle boy. :)
The little boys got in on the action too... we hurried outside as soon as they woke up before the ice melted....
Elijah insisted on storing a big chunk of it in the freezer to show Brant later in the day. I may have done the same thing when I was his age. Sorry, Mom. Now I know how annoying it is to have a HEB bag in my freezer filled with chunks of dirty ice. :)
