Morning Glory

I have a love/hate relationship with mornings. I hate them, because ten months out of the year, I have to get up and get dressed and go to work in the morning. And that's just dumb. But really, mornings are pretty glorious. The world looks a little different, a little nicer, a little fresher in the morning.
Sights that might simply be pretty on an ordinary day are made beautiful by the rising sun (except for the part where I may as well drive with my eyes closed because the sun is blinding).

Sometimes in the morning, when the clouds are backlit pink by the sun I think that the clouds look like cotton candy. And then I wonder where I can buy cotton candy at 6AM, because my relationship with cotton candy is strictly a love/love one.

But the best thing about mornings are the little boys who slow down just long enough to be all warm and snuggly for a few minutes, before they run off and start getting into all sorts of trouble.

Proof that his serious look in that photo was him contemplating what sort of trouble he'd like to cause? Two seconds after I snapped that, he did this. Someone hold me. I have a climber.

I have a hate/hate relationship with morning. I have a love/hate relationship with the snooze button. Could have something to do with the fact that I leave for work 10 months of the year before the sun even starts to come up. And that most of that time I am locked in a building already teaching AS it comes up. So I miss the pretty. This week has been nice (prof development - no kids yet) because I go to work at a reasonable time so the sun was a gorgeous orange ball sending streaks across the sky yesterday morning.

But those PJ pics? They make me smile.

In the cloud photo, dancing right across the top, is a little golden reindeer... legs spread out in glorious, adventurous flight... just like your little ones... yes, the "climber" too! Thanks for these lovely photos of nature and boys! Love them!

Mornings are pretty jerks. You know what I mean?

AND GUESS WHAT? This morning, on our way to school, I pointed to the clouds and said "you guys, the clouds look like cotton candy." and they were like "oh, I love cotton candy." and I asked how many times they've had it and they said "once, while in Kentucky. In 2009 when Aunt Sarah gave it to us."

heh.

oh and Cutter is being all healthy all of the time. Including pushups, running laps, stretching and healthy eating. There is something wrong with him.

My nephew can hold himself (and almost pull up) on the door jamb. He'll say, "I wanna hang, Apul!"

I should sign him up for gymnastics.
