- I've been abnormally and insanely busy. Seriously, there are days that I clock in at about 5:00 am and don't clock out again until 10:00. I have been busy volunteering at the kids' school for the most part. That and taking pictures of other people's families. People like to have that fall picture for their Christmas cards! I do love seeing people and catching up with their families after a year since their last session.
- The Girl landed the role of The White Queen in the school's production of Through the Looking Glass. It is the part that she wanted and she was over the moon with excitement when she found out. She has done a really great job at learning all of her lines, and I've enjoyed running through her script with her on occasion. Also, I might have been destined to be an acting coach. I feel like I really rock at interpreting the mood and feelings of the White Queen, and then helping The Girl make adjustments where necessary. So, I'm either going to be an acting coach or a professional bike rider when I grow up. It's hard to say.
- The Little Man had four teeth pulled, two cavities filled, and three sealants all in one dental visit. He did really well and recovered pretty quickly. It was perfect that we had all of this done so close to Halloween because he truly looks like a walking Jack-o-lantern. We recently had some family pictures taken, and The Little Man and I had a small coaching session before hand, using a mirror, so we could make sure our smiles were right. He did great.
- Our dog had a bladder infection. I don't want to discuss how the vet suggested we get a urine sample.
- On a recent field trip with The Little Man to Miller Farms, I collected so many potatoes, carrots, onions, and corn cobs that they couldn't fit in my fridge. My master plan was that I would be making all of these veggies into a wonderful soup. After making three soups and only using a third of the veggies, I gave up. Well, technically, the veggies are still on my back deck. It's been cold enough that I figured it would be just like they were in my fridge, right? I'm sure the potatoes are still good. Eventually, I'll make potato chowder.
- My nesting phase officially came to a screeching halt about 2.2 seconds after my last post. Therefore, while we may be on Fall Break this week, there will be no painting of The Little Man's room. He hasn't asked yet, so I think I'm in the clear. The only problem is that I have hung the new curtains up (because the old ones literally fell off the wall), and they match the way the new room will look, not the current room. Oh well. No one goes upstairs anyway, right?
- The Little Man reached his goal of running 40 miles this season at run club. True to The Little Man's competitive personality, as soon as he reached it, he wanted to know if I thought it was possible for him to reach 50 miles by the end of the week...I'm proud of him for reaching his goal.
- The Girl may be growing out of Halloween. We still haven't found a costume for her this year, and she isn't too concerned. When we've gone out looking, she's totally uninterested in the options. For right now, she is saying she'll just be whatever she was last year. While I'd like to buy this, because it will save me serious cash, I just don't. I go between feeling sad that she thinks she is too old for Halloween, and feeling like I'm being tricked. I feel like when Halloween actually gets here, she's going to freak out about how she, "Can't be the same thing as I was last year, MOM!" We shall see...
That's what has been going on in our tiny corner of the world!
