Hey Fall, What's Up?

Wher've ya been? I've missed ya. [Is wher've a word?]

Love, love, love it! Fall is my favorite. The hot stuff heat is gone and now we can give the sun a break, let it get dark early and relax a little more, or when soccer season is over we will!

Just look at my my early birthday present to myself. It's instant downloadable happiness for me today! And it's a Wednesday, just when I need the lift!

I don't know about you but I am now ready for the elections to be over. I finally made up my mind about who I will vote for, so my goal is to have my ballot in the mail by tomorrow. I have seen some strange things around town lately. Yesterday when I was driving my kids and my other carpool kids to school, I saw a motherly woman [someone who looked somewhat like me] carrying a mangled up sign like this one as she ran down a busy residential street. It got me so curious about her situation. Was she retrieving her sign? Was she taking someones sign? Is she for it or against it? Where was she going in such a hurry? What did she have for breakfast? I was so intrigued with this woman...I wanted to know her story, I wanted to follow her, but I didn't.

Eva is such a funny girl. She can't resist any costume. I have been trying to photograph each one, can you believe how many she gets her hands on?

I have not even been able photograph them all, this is only a sampling! Fall is probably her favorite season too, the costume bin comes down from lofty heights and she is free to be. That last one is just in her pj's, she likes it when her hair is wet and it looks long, when it dries and curls up close to her head she asks me "where is my long hair Mommy?"

What else have we been up to? Well let me tell you! We received some much appreciated grandmotherly love when my Mom came and stayed two nights with us last week. We have made time for and dined with good friends, we have seen an adult movie [the Brad Pitt, George Clooney one, funny but I cannot recommend it to you]. We have seen a play at the university which included my friend Nena's sister Kelly who was awesome in it.

My two big girls and I are packing up for another year of Girl Scout camp. I am hoping that our cabin is close to the bathroom, or even better that I will not have to get up in the middle of the night to go there! It does get cold in the mountains you know, there is nothing worse for me than getting my toasty toes out of a warm sleeping bag for that!

I definitely won't let so much time pass before posting again. I am really looking forward to Halloween this year, it's more fun on Friday, yay! Oye como va!

Peace to you and happy happy voting!
