I type this sitting at my kitchen table, drinking a nice hot french vanilla while looking out the window at the the trees in my backyard changing their colors. I also just noticed how mangy the kitten that’s been hanging out in our backyard looks. Poor thing must be a stray. I’ll have to set up a little home for it outside for the winter. I’m going off topic here.
The nights have been getting chillier and when we got into bed on Friday night I must have shivered for 20 minutes before the bed warmed up. Time for the flannel sheets I said to hubby. Saturday morning I went off to one of my favorite stores (I actually don’t like it but there always cheaper so I find I’m there more than any other store). ANyway, they were having this amazing sale on household items so I thought, perfect time to stock up. I was walking through the store and noticed they had flannel bed sheets on sale so I got Cooper a pair of flannette sheets also. He sleeps with his favorite, must have everywhere we go, blankets but they don’t actually cover him at night and it’s getting too cold for him to have nothing. Plus, if I’m cold getting into bed then he must be too. When I got home I washed them and put them on his bed. They match his room perfect. THen did ours next.
Last night getting into bed, it was absolute HEAVEN!!! One of my favorite things about this time of year is going to bed and being surrounded in flannel. There’s nothing warmer or softer. I was so tired but wanted to stay awake just to relish how good it felt to be all wrapped up and covered in flannel. This morning I woke upto Cooper talking nicely at 7:45. 7:45!!!! I guess even Cooper couldn’t resist the awesomeness of flannel sheets. THen by 11 he came and brought hubby his bed time book, hubby read it to him while I changed him and he left and went to his room. He came back twice to kiss hubby and then went to his room, closed the door and went to bed. He hasn’t been napping until 1 lately so this was totally strange for him. Anyway, we didn’t let him nap butmy point is how much he must be enjoying his new soft bed. He’s now napping and has been for 2 hours now. Not a peep out of him.
I’m off now to get ready for when Cooper wakes up. I’d like to spend some timeoutside with him getting the garden ready for winter and then we’re going to be having a really amazing home cooked, creamy dinner.
This really is the best time of year.
