First Day of Fall

According to the calendar, fall began at around 11am this morning. Living in Michigan, that means, of course, TODAY IS THE DAY TO ORDER WINTER COATS and HATS and BOOTS and GLOVES. It might be sunny and close to 80 today, but it's going to be gray and cold within weeks.
I sent the kids to bed having ascertained coat and shoe sizes. I forgot about glove sizes though. Harnessing my desire to obtain free shipping by ordering tonight, I crept into their rooms with a tape measure and flashlight to record the length of their hands -- fingertip to wrist.

In just a few days, we'll be all set.
