Brrr...

I just want to say that we just got home from a fun evening at our friends' house (thanks Skip and Janji!) and the temperature is 6 degrees outside. But it feels like -13 degrees (which I guess is mild compared to the -80 wind chill I experienced my freshman year at U of I - did I really go to class in that weather? Yes, I am a rule follower!). Did I mention how much I love this weather? Actually it hasn't bothered me that much as long as it isn't icy and I am blessed with a warm car or house to shelter me.

Took this picture this morning before church. They both insisted on spiking their own hair today. And Elliott was not amused with my attempt at cuteness with their matching outfits (thanks for the sweaters, Aunt Meemer). They were both totally fine with the pants and sweaters, but that was the end of the line for Elliott. He was not wearing the cute argyle matching socks I had gotten a deal on this fall. And he was not wearing the nice brown shoes we had purchased for church and other "dress-up" occasions. Okay. You win this time. White socks and tennis shoes for you - and you let everyone know when they would make nice comments about how you and Ethan matched "Not my socks. Or my shoes - see?"
And they were not excited about having to get a picture either. They tried to be as silly as possible, but I actually think it worked out well cause I love this picture of them.

Very nice picture! It did work out and I totally relate on the clothing choice dilemna's. We have them almost everyday, especially school days. I do let her win at times to be fair. They look great. Stay warm!
