Autumn is my favorite season! I love to watch the leaves change colors, the cool air and sweatshirt weather, the lovely fall mums….aaahhh, breathe it in. I find myself seeing God’s glory in a new way every day, with every change.

Randomness
Brooke went back to school today and I’m scared to see the amount of makeup work she’ll have for missing 2 days. I kept her isolated from the rest of the family and I think it worked. So far no complaints from anyone else. She auditions tonight for the Circle of Lights, so keep your fingers crossed.
Matthew has enjoyed the past two days that we’ve stayed in. In fact, he hasn’t even put clothes on!
Tuesday when Zach came home from school and I asked him how his day was. He said “nice”. I was in shock. He always says “good”. When I tried to press further to see what the difference was, he retreated outside to ride his bike. He’s a man of few words, just like his daddy.
He did come out of his 10 year old shell a couple of weeks ago. My son asked a girl to go out with him, and he told me about it! She said no, but it’s OK because all of his friends think he’s so cool for asking her.
I guess that’s about it, except for trying to house break a thirty pound puppy. Any suggestions there would be great. Oh, and if you’re gonna say just rip the carpet out, I already did that last week. I put hardwood flooring down in the hallway all by myself!
Sickness
My poor baby girl woke up in the night throwing up, and she hasn’t stopped. Now she’s burning up with a fever and trying to sleep. Keep her in your prayers.
Single again…
Matthew wants to break up with me because I got mad at him for throwing the dog. He said I can marry daddy again. That was as short lived as some celebrity weddings!
Will you marry me?
Matthew, my 5 year old, snuggled up with me last night and asked me if I would marry him. I told him I was already married to daddy, and that one day he would grow up and meet a nice girl to marry. He asked where he would meet her, and I said church! We talked about him bringing her home to meet our family and he asked where she would sit at the table since we don’t have enough chairs. (Where does he come up with this stuff?)
He ended the conversation by asking me to marry him and break up with daddy. What can ya say?
Conversation
Matthew has been watching a new video in the van called WordWorld, by PBS. We had just picked Brooke up from dance last night, and I heard the movie spell P-I-E. So I asked Matthew how do you spell Pie?
Matthew- I dunno
Zach-well they just told you how to spell it. Were you listening?
Matthew- I don’t wanna disguss about it!!!!
Zach- what’s he going to do in Kindergarten when the teacher asks him a question? Say I don’t want to discuss about it?
Me- Thankfully we have another year.
Quick note
Just dropping by to say hey! I appreciated all the responses to the powdered milk question, and I’ll let ya know how it goes.
We’re off to the race track tonight, and a different one tomorrow. Looks like a crazy weekend for us. Hope you have a good one!
my today
Nothing much going on here. We went to the carwash, and then to United Arts and Education. Matthew is getting bored with the school stuff that we have, so I thought we’d look for something fun. We came out of there with a few games, and the most exciting thing…… a Grow a Frog kit. You send away for a tadpole or froglet, and raise it. The one they had in the store was huge! It was a very cute water frog, and Matthew and I both loved it. I thought it would be a great thing to do for Science.
After that we both went and got haircuts. I had about 4 inches taken off of mine, and he just had a trim and a spike job. We’ll see if daddy notices!
School and Germs
The two go hand in hand. It never fails that when school starts, so do all the infections. They run rampant through the halls of education, seeking a warm body to inhabit. This time they’ve found my Boo Bear! Brooke is sick, and the doctor said it’s just viral, but did give us a prescription for eardrops. Thank you God for our health insurance, because the tiny little bottle of ear drops only cost us $15. The paper on the outside of the bag says our insurance saved us $184! What!? That just seems like highway robbery, or price gouging, or just completely ridiculous!!!!! Is it liquid gold?
It had better make her feel like dancin’ soon!
Snacking
One quick note on a bad thing about working outside of the home. I have been snacking all day! I stopped and bought a 44 ounce diet coke, a small bag of pretzels and chocolate turtle chex mix before I came in, and I have had my hand in a bag all day. I have to stop….but there’s only a few pieces left in the turtle chex mix, then I can throw the bag away.
