Fall

Today, I saw geese flying overhead for the first time since spring. The equinox was last night, so I guess it's officially fall! My favorite season: apples, squash, jeans and sweatshirts, back to school, colorful trees, Halloween...I love it so! When I mention that, I often get the comment that it just means winter is coming. Well, so what? Enjoy fall for the lovely season it is!

In the course of moving, belongings surface that haven't seen the light of day in a while, like Mark's hat collection! (I decided I could use the names of the adults in da house. I mean, you can Google Mark whenever you like. And me, too, for that matter.) It's amazing how many countries are represented. Our favorite models:

Happy Birthday, Boppa!

Another September birthday! Happy Birthday to Boppa, who has a green thumb and a big heart and who knows how to cut a rug! (He also has mad skillz with a staple gun!)



Another one!

M4 lost another tooth this morning! I didn't get a picture yet; I'll take one soon.

More good taste

Yesterday, in preparation for our car trip to Adventureland, M4 asked me to bring some "Donna" songs. As in Ma-.

Good taste

Clearly I am setting a fine example for my children. The other day, M4 said, "Y'know that song that starts out 'I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want?' I like that song!"

If you don't immediately know who sings that song, here is more than you'll ever want to know.

Proud

I'm so proud of M3. She auditioned for Missoula Childrens' Theater's production of Alice In Wonderland yesterday and didn't get a part. Last year the same thing happened and she was devastated. This year she had fun participating in the audition, and when she didn't get picked she was just fine. She was proud of herself for "projecting" more than she did last year. And she said she wanted to try again next year. Thank goodness she handled it so well!! I don't think I could have taken the heartbreak again!
