Shut the Door

One thing you should understand about boys - they are unable to stay in one spot for more than 36 seconds.  It is simply not within their programming.

We were sitting outdoors on a brisk Saturday morning in May, watching hot air balloons launch and lazily float across the sky.  Ashley and a boy or two opted to remain in the comfort of the heated van.

Soon, I could hear Ashley hollering about the van doors being continuously opened and closed.

"What is going on?" I asked Justin, referring to the ruckus and shouting emanating from behind us.

"Mom," he said, chuckling.  "She's very serious about coldness."
