weeks are flying by! #16

Gosh!  I went to bed last night and realized "Oh!  It was wednesday today...didn't even think about updating the blog!"  I swear yesterday was monday...I swear!!!  Well, it wasn't :]
It's been a week of Sadie home on fall break, a sick Caitlyn and CJ, then everyone felt better and then everyone went back to school and work...and that brings us to today!  FEEEWWWY...doesn't seem like much, but it was :]
However!  What a week of beauty and fun, I enjoyed all of it (when I wasn't grumpy anyway ;])!  Enjoy the gifts of the week, from my little place on this big fat earth....

OCTOBER 20
SADIE AND I FOUND SOME TIME TO PAINT US UP SOME HALLOWEEN TOES!  ALWAYS GRATEFUL FOR ANY TIME I GET TO SPEND WITH MY GIRLS :]

OCTOBER 21
MY NEPHEWS - COLLIN AND CAMERON!  I LOVE THEM, ALL BOY!!!  FAMILY HALLOWEEN PARTIES ARE THE BEST...ESPECIALLY WHEN THE KIDS COME IN THEIR COSTUMES!

OCTOBER 22
IT'S DONE, FINALLY.  WE CLEANED OUT THE GARAGE AND I STARTED ORGANIZING SOME OF THE CABINETS.  IT MAKES ME SOOOOO HAPPY!  HOW WILL I LIVE IF I EVER GET MYSELF COMPLETELY ORGANIZED...GEE, IT MIGHTSCARE ME?

OCTOBER 23
THIS IS WHAT A SUNDAY EVENING IS ALL ABOUT...IT'S WHEN I'M MY HAPPIEST.  JUST HANGING WITH THE FAMILY, WATCHING THEM DO THE THINGS THAT THEY LOVE TO DO BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE TIME TO DO IT.  I'M SITTING ON THE BACK DRIVEWAY JUST WATCHING MY CJ PRACTICE UP FOR HIS KANSAS HUNT.  I'M ALWAYS KINDA SAD WHEN THE BOW SEASON IS OVER, NO MORE WARM EVENINGS LEFT, AND NO MORE SITTING AND JUST WATCHING MY CEEJ WITH HIS SLIVER SHOOTER.  THESE ARE THE GOOD DAYS :]

OCTOBER 24
SADIE, CHRIS AND CAIT...ALL SITTING IN A ROW.
JACK-O-LANTERNS ARE SO FUN!  HALLOWEEN IS SO FUN!  I'M BLESSED TO HAVE 'TEENAGE' GIRLS (and their friends...i.e. Chris Brown)  WHO STILL LOVE TO CARVE PUMPKINS AND DO ALL SORTS OF OTHER SILLY THINGS!

OCTOBER 25
IT SEEMS THE LEAVES ARE CHANGING AND FALLING A LITTLE LATER THAN USUAL THIS YEAR?  BUT HERE THEY ARE...ALL FINDING THEIR WAY TO THE GROUND.  CALL ME CRAZY...BUT, I LOVE SEEING LEAVES SPREAD ALL OVER THE GROUND.  IN ALL MY LIFE, I'VE NEVER FIGURED OUT WHY EVERYONE IS IN SUCH A HURRY TO GET THEIR LEAVES RAKED UP, INTO THE BIG BLACK GARBAGE SAC AND THEN INTO THE GARBAGE?  I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT THE ONLY REASON I'D EVER WANT TO RAKE MY LEAVES UP IS SO THEY CAN BE JUMPED INTO AND MESSED UP AGAIN.  I LOVE WALKING THROUGH THE DRIED UP LEAVES, KICKING THEM AROUND, CRUNCHING THEM UNDER MY FEET...AND I JUST THINK THEY ARE A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT.  FALL LEAVES...THEY ARE GLORIOUS TO ME :]

S0....Here's my plan for the next few days - ENJOY THE HALLOWEEN WEEKEND and all the FALLING LEAVES!  I hope to throw a little laundry into the plan as well?  We'll see?

Keep Thriving on whatever it is you thrive :]

Delicious autumn!  My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.  ~George Eliot
