Wow, has it really been so long since the last post? Somehow it seems that I have been living in real life only, and not so much in blogland. It wasn't intentional, but just happened without me noticing. Maybe that's a good thing?
Unfortunately, it's been so long that I don't even know what to write about now. We've been busy, obviously. Lots of sports - soccer, baseball, gymnastics. Grandparent visit. Halloween. Natalie turned 5! I will have to try and pick apart a story or two from all of that sometime soon. Meanwhile, to sum it up: All three kids are enjoying their sports (yay!), all three loved having the visiting Grandparents, and all three had a lovely Halloween. Natalie's birthday was good too, but I'll leave that for a special birthday girl post.
One of my favorite Fall traditions - the pumpkin carving - was a little rushed this year. And as usual, my three helpers were not a lot of help. A little poke with a spoon here, a shriek as a finger touched some gooey pumpkin guts there. Much dramatic face squinching in disgust, and then off to something more interesting while I am left to carve. But I'm not really complaining. Less time with small children around knives the better, if you know what I mean. Thanks to Mimi and Grandpa for helping pick out the very tall pumpkin that was the favorite. Liam decided we should go for a traditional face instead of a fancy design for that one and it turned out to be the one the trick-or-treaters loved. For Owen's pumpkin we did a Potato Head kit, so we just had to poke the face parts into the pumpkin instead of carving (as I said before...less time around knives the better), but I don't think I got a good picture of that one. Happy Halloween! Happy Fall! The year is going too quickly!
