Thai food rocks. Maybe I’ll get some tomorrow….

As for cold weather? There is now way I would survive north of Dallas. Seriously. I’m all about the hot weather.

Awesome post!!!! Chicago has truly brutal winters……and you do learn how to survive when you grow up there. So, why I moved to Minnesota after IL I will never understand! I laughed at your cold CO comment…..because that is so true!!!!!

I hope I can get Punky to like Thai. Very cool……

That’s so hilarious. People do think CO is cold, when it’s really not. Chicago, though–God, those are brutal winters!! I so miss all the great restaurants there. We used to live off of Montrose and Damen, and there’s an awesome Thai restaurant there. So good and cheap.

I don’t know if it’s the sensory processing disorder, but Evan does not seem to notice the cold weather whatsoever. And he loves the snow. Licking it, rolling in it, burying his feet in it. If he could live outdoors in the snow right now, I think he would.

He HATES the wind though. He is convinced the wind is out to get him. He’d definitely be able to bond with A on that one.

Lucky you that he likes Thai food! It is super easy to make, usually gluten-free, and I am sure you can get the ingredients in Denver. I mean if I can get them in Ellsworth, Maine, you can get them in Denver, certainly.

As for weather wimps, all kids are weather wimps. Adults have a selective forgetter thing that only allows them to remember the fun they had as children, sledding, skating, etc. and not the whiny, resentful brats they were when sent out to shovel the front walk. Tell both the husband and the boys to shut up and hand them shovels and send them outdoors.
