Happy October!!!!!

Hello, October.  September most unkindly kicked my trash.  It was way too busy and way too hot.  But now, lovely October, you are here with cooler days and nights, beautiful colors, and the promise of Halloween.  At last, I can be at peace again.

Thing 2 is now bringing home lots of projects from preschool like this:

That is what a proper ghost should eat, you know.

Thing 2 has also been planning out a Halloween party, complete with hand drawn diagrams.  Thing 1 is happy that I finally found a mummy costume for him.  (Yes, mummy costumes are not that difficult to make.  But I don't sew.  The last time I did there was a fair amount of blood involved, so I'm not anxious to repeat the experience.)  And everyone is looking forward to the usual October festivities.

I have so much to catch up with on here.  But October is a good and hopeful month, my favorite month, so I believe I can do it.

And I recently read a quote from somewhere that said multiple exclamation points are the written equivalent of jazz hands.  So use your imagination for HAPPY OCTOBER!!!!!
