Okay, I know that a lot of people really don't like this unusually warm weather we are having right now, but I am a big fan. I have always said that I would love for it to be Spring and Fall all year round- so I am thoroughly enjoying every bit of this 75 degree weather we are having right now. The girls have been able to play outside and I have had the screens open on the sunporch and the smell of the fresh air mingles nicely with my Christmas tree scent. It is wonderful. For all those who wish it were freezing cold out there, well, I am sorry for you- but you are out of luck. I know the cold is coming, but I am going to enjoy this while it lasts.
On a funny note, Emmaline's teacher pulled me aside the other morning to tell me something. (Usually not a good thing, but in this case it was.) She has allowed the children to bring in an ornament for the classroom tree if they wanted and a little boy brought in a "Cocky" ornament (the mascot for the Carolina Gamecocks for those of you who don't know.) He got to talk about it and show it to everyone. The teacher said that Emmaline turned her head to the side and crossed her arms and just looked disgusted. She asked her what was wrong and Emmaline replied "I just can't even look at that it is so ugly." The teacher, being a Clemson grad and fan, thought that was hilarious and had to tell me. I thought it was too funny. At least she didn't tell the boy he wasn't smart, because that is what Brian tells the girls when they ask why people like Gamecocks. Oh, well- she is brutally honest, just like her mama. They started basketball practice this week and it was good. I was as proud as a peacock watching both of my girls learn the sport I grew up loving. Annelise is surprisingly good, and Emmaline will be when she gets a little bigger. She is very frustrated because she expected to go out there and be Michael Jordan. Thank goodness we taught her how to do a granny shot or she wouldn't be able to get the ball to the basket at all. The scrimage was very comical, since only one or two kids even had a mild clue what they were doing. It should be an interesting season. Oh, well- I think I will go outside now and enjoy wandering around in a short-sleeved shirt and jeans while I can!

I, too love this warm weather. Been meaning to ask-- What 'cha doing on New Year's Eve? I will be cheering for the Tigers-- the Auburn Tigers. I cheer for Clemson when they are not playing Auburn.
Go Tigers!
