Is it really October 25 and this is the first posting of the month?!?...
This month has flown by. Here's a run down of what we've been doing:
- going to the park and playing in the sixty/seventy/eighty degree October weather, and loving it! Alas, snow is predicted for tonight and tomorrow. I love snow, as long as it doesn't snow on Halloween.
- JJ started a new class- tumbling and moving. He really likes it and is doing great with it. I'm hoping he learns some cool tricks and can improve his balance and coordination a bit.
- Emily is teething like mad. She has 4 front top teeth, 3 front bottom teeth, one molar all the way through, and three more a'coming.
- Both kiddos had their first dentist visit today. Emily is good. JJ has two tiny cavities. Ugh. He'll get them filled next week, and it should be pretty painless. His dentist, who looks a lot like my nephews' dad's family (the Flores), is great and doesn't have huge sausage fingers like my first dentist did.
- Tim and I have been re-staining and re-finishing the kitchen table from my parents' old house. I just put another coat of polyurethane on, hopefully its the last one needed.
- hanging out and getting to know new neighbors, all with kids the same ages as ours. Having kids makes me appreciate my neighborhood in a new way!
- hanging out with good friends, both shorties and adults
- getting ready for Halloween!! We've carved pumpkins, baked lots of cookies, have the kids' costumes ready, and are planning to go trick or treating three times. What a fun holiday!
- visiting with Mimi and Pappa Rose
- Emily has been thinking about walking- she has taken some single steps, and is getting better at balancing and cruising!
- going to the store every other day for milk. Maybe I just turn my backyard into a goat pen and we can all start drinking goat milk...

Let me start at the bottom of your post first - time to buy Emily her first crash helmet and duct-tape it to her head.
2nd - if you're gonna make multiple plundering attacks in the same neighborhood, i hope you have multiple costumes for the kids and distracting disguises for yourselves - as a young teenager, David Kassel and I tried that by going around once with cheapie masks and a 2nd time with painted faces. unfortunately, we didn't realize that the people, who asked who we were with masks on, might recognize us with just painted faces...Dohh!
and as for JJ's new classes - he's likely going to want to show all sorts of new moves at home...maybe instead of a crash helmet for Emily, you just go buy a stack of those 'tombstone' shaped swim boards and strap 3 or 4 around each of their heads. Tim, got any silicone adhesive handy?
