Today Cole had a soccer game at 10:00. It was COLD outside and the wind was blowing about 25 mph. The field was standing in large puddles of water due to the huge amount of rain that we had had the previous day. I was the snack mom - so we had to be there. I had Katie wrapped up in a blanket and the winds continued to howl. Cole's team started their warm up and Cole kept looking back at his dad and I. After about 15 minutes of warm up, Cole ran across the field. He snuggled under the blanket with Katie and I and said, "I really don't want to play." That's really all I needed to hear. I believe that Cole was the smartest person on the field - including all the adults. He knew that it was really too cold and too wet to be outside running around on the field. When he loaded up into our van he said, "Thank the Lord." We are raising one smart young man.
Sometimes my kids can say the funnest words. This morning it was so foggy outside that it was difficult to see. Katie says, "I can't believe how froggy it is this morning." Cole agreed that it was very froggy. Katie sometimes says allergy for alert when playing battle with her brother. Cole says that he takes durteck (Zurteck) for allergies. They were singing, "The weather outside is nightfull, the sun is so delightful, since we have no place to go, Let it snow." Well, at least they say I love you just right.
