Cold Weather 1:45 p.m. 10/9/18

Thankful for the cold weather.  I'm not sure where our Fall went but it skipped for a bit and brought on some cold winter like temps.  Because of the cold weather it was easy to menu plan this week.  All I could think of was warm, comforting type of food.  Because of that and it being cold it has brought my son home the last two nights.

Last night he came over again to enjoy meatloaf, mashed potatoes, gravy and green beans. 

He even said that all he wants is something warm to eat because its cold.  It warms me up having him around.  I hat put one of the Pirates of the Caribbean on and he ate and watch it with me.  Sara didn't stick around much after she ate.  She only enjoyed a heaping pile of mashed potatoes and gravy.  But we all sat together and ate in the living and that was really nice.

There was a tiny split second that I found myself about to get up and go put the food away in the kitchen but I looked over to the couch.  I saw Kyle had gotten comfortable on the couch after Sara left.  He stretched out laying down, a couch pillow under his head and a blanket covering his feet with a cup of hot cocoa in front of him on the table cooling off to drink, watch the movie.  I dismissed the idea of getting up very quickly and sat there watching the movie with him until it was over.

He got up to leave after the movie.  He told me thank you and gave me another lingering hug, a little more lingering tonight....maybe it was because we were thinking of papa and missing him.

I pulled out a jacket that was my dad's and asked if Kyle wanted it.  He picked up off the couch and put it on and walked out warm and cozy with a full stomach ready to go to his apartment :)

Feeling blessed for the moment with my son and thankful for the cold weather.
