The best of October 2011.



Cici was a Reese's, Nini an M&M, the boys-train conductors, and I
got into the spirit by being Thomas the Train!

How was your October?!



A little darkness with that moonlight.

With tripod and camera in hand, I finally captured
a little bit of darkness under the moonlight autumn sky!

Upstaged by Mac and Cheese.

September

Something caught my eye yesterday while I was going about accomplishing the busy home economics of the day; there was something falling from on high. Could this be true? I said this to myself while watching leaves pour off of our trees. It seems that New England believes Fall doesn't start on Sept 21 - but on Sept 1st.

First day of school.

With fall comes school and the tales of the third grade nothings. Cici and Nini have taken this school year by storm. They are happy and excited about school and the (knowing with all certainty that this can't last) -drama is gone. After school has always been rough for the girls - but this year, they seem more confident and happy.

We also had to prepare our school bus pizza for the first day of school. It was slightly upstaged though, by the mac and cheese I fixed for them as a 2nd school treat - lesson learned!

I am ready for fall to start, but not ready for the cold after fall. Now, I am focusing on the last of the seasons flowers and warmth. Soon it will be all about winter.

What is your favorite season?
