The Cooped Up Bugs Arrive

This has been our first week of weather that is cold enough to warrant some extended bundling to go outside.  We have been outside, but for shorter periods of time than we’ve been used to and because the sun sets so much earlier now, we are left with extended hours of darkness in the evening.  This means that the cooped up energy inside the house has quadrupled, leading to that familiar, crazy frenzy that seems especially chaotic on a Friday night.  Autumn is ending.  Winter is beginning.  Let the craziness ensue.
