So, maybe it's time for a post that does not revolve around pictures, but more simply just what we've been up to.

As I sit here, the night before Halloween, Lucy is building a wooden block castle for her plastic animals, Rowan is shrieking and kicking with delight, chewing on her baby blankie in her bouncy seat. Ryan is gone setting his drums up for their show tonight at the King Cat Theatre. I get to go to the show tomorrow, I'm excited. Lucy is going trick-or-treating with her mom, and Rowan will be staying with Auntie Deb, an over-nighter, too!

I'm pretty stoked on my halloween costume this year too, it's been a few years since I have been excited to dress up for the holiday, so it will be a refreshing change of pace to be dressed up as a pregnant sister wife...can't wait! Got my crisp white collared shirt and my denim/floral print dress all lined up. To top it off, my running shoes and a nice black fanny pack to keep some literature in for passing out to folks enquiring on what it means to be FLDS (fundamentalist later day saint).

I've been reading Stacy's blog lately which is making me want to write more real things, instead of just captioning my pictures. The only problem is, I'm not sure what to write about, since most of the writing is about the kids anyway, and what else would I have to write about it? I open for suggestions.

Time to check on the lasagna. I'm getting excited for the cold weather again...Halloween is like the gateway holiday becuase the day after is November, and then Thanksgiving is a few weeks away...then I get to start listening to Christmas music! I'm excited to have Rowan be the age she is for the holidays, chewing and grabbing for stuff...it will be fun :)

til next time...
