sandstorms, sweden and santa

 

yesterday was one of those days where you question why someone would choose to live in west texas.

i was reading about sweden here and their love for spending hours outside every day.  every day. sunny, warm days. cold, rainy days. freezing, snow days. they say, "There is no bad weather, just bad clothing." as i was driving, dodging tumbleweeds, and trying to get the sand out of my teeth, i was thinking, do they have days like this in sweden? and if so, do they prefer being outside having their skin sandblasted or in the calm of the clean indoors?

i know i'm complaining about how terrible the weather was, but don't think it stopped us from taking mclain to meet santa at the mall. i figured most sane people would not want to be out in this nonsense. but i'm not one of those people. i'm about taking advantage of bad weather days and getting stuff done in a timely manner.

mclain meet santa.

(this is a picture of a picture because they won't let you take your own.)

mclain was enamored with santa. most of the pictures were of mclain just staring at santa.  mclain was so content i may have considered leaving him with santa while matt and i went to see a movie at the new theater. that might not have gone over too well with the people in line behind us.

Merry Christmas!
